From May 12 - 14, 2023 in celebration of the Centenary of the Pontifical Coronation Centenary of Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados, venerated in her Basilica in Valencia, Spain, the original image of Virgin was brought down from her altar after many decades for the celebrations and processions.

Our Lady, Help of Persecuted Christians

The icon of Our Lady, Help of Persecuted Christians was written in 2018 by Italian iconographer Fabrizio Diomedi presents the Blessed Mother, with the Child Jesus over her heart, spreading her protective mantle around a representative gathering of recent Christian martyrs — men and women, young and old, priests, religious and laypersons. The four crosses represent an ‘ecumenism of blood’ among martyrs of Roman and Eastern Catholicism, as well as those of Coptic, Armenian, Syriac and Orthodox traditions.

Since it started in 1979, the Knights Marian Prayer Program has held more than 166,900 local council and parish prayer services with some 20 million participants. Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson expressed his hope that the pilgrim icon will “focus the eyes of our Church on the sacrifice of so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ.”

The origins of the Nuestra Señora de la Buena Hora de Quiapo are not known due to the lack of records available as of this writing. The Virgin of the Good Hour references the hour before her glorious Assumption into heaven. However, the devotion went into oblivion when the image was reportedly sold to an unknown antique dealer during the Post War years and the whereabouts of the image are still unknown. There were initial efforts to revive the devotion until 2017 when it was fully realized with a new image that is currently enshrined in Quiapo Basilica.

Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows for the souls in purgatory

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, my Mother, I turn to you in supplication and by that sword which pierced your sorrowful heart at beholding your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, suffer on the cross, I pray and ask thee to help the holy souls in Purgatory and particularly those for whom I now pray (N.N.)

O Mother of Sorrows, Queen of Martyrs, for the love of your Divine Son whose Precious Blood was shed for us, help us who are in danger not only of falling into Purgatory, but of losing our souls for ever in hell, with your powerful intercession. O Mary our Mother, Mother of Grace, Mother of Mercy, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. O Eternal Father through the most Precious Blood of Jesus and through the Sorrows of Mary have pity upon the holy souls in purgatory. Amen.

Our Lady of Consolation and Cincture

It is said that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Monica in mourning clothes to give her consolation and assurance of the conversion of his son St. Augustine. Our Lady gave her cincture to St. Monica and ordered her to wear it as a sign of Our Lady's consolation. Years later, the cincture were later incorporated to the habits of the Augustinian Family.

Father of mercies and God of all Consolation, your faithful rejoice in the protection of the holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Consolation. Through her motherly intercession may we be freed from all evils in this life and be worthy to share the eternal joy of heaven, where you live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
