About Our Lady of Prompt Succor
Who is Our Lady of Prompt Succor?
Our Lady of Prompt Succor(Notre-Dame du Prompt Secours) refers to a Roman Catholic title given to a devotion surrounding a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary brought to New Orleans from France in 1810 by Ursuline Nun Mother Saint Michel Gensoul.
The statue was used in the Old Ursuline Convent Chapel during an All-Night Vigil of Prayer with Ursulines and townspeople, followed by a Mass by Msgr. Louis DuBourg as means of intercession during the heroic Battle of New Orleans in 1815.
The Americans then defeated the British, who greatly outnumbered them, securing the independence of the nation. This title continues to be used when invoking the Virgin Mary for quick assistance in difficulties, be it societal or personal.
