O Mother of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help To thee we come imploring help. Behold us here, from far and near, To ask of thee our help to be; Behold us here, from far and near, To ask of thee our help to be. Perpetual help we beg of thee; Our souls from sin and sorrow free; Direct our wandering feet aright, And be thyself out own true light; Direct our wandering feet aright, And be thyself out own true light. And when this life is o'er for me, This last request I ask of thee: Obtain for me in heaven this grace, To see my God there face to face; Obtain for me in heaven this grace, To see my God there face to face.

When Using Holy Water

By this holy water and by Your Precious Blood, wash away all my sins, O Lord. St. Theresa of Avila on holy water: "From long experience I have learned that there is nothing like holy water to put devils to flight and prevent them from coming back again. They also flee from the cross, but return; so holy water must have great value." Holy water is a means of spiritual wealth -- a sacramental that remits venial sin. The Church strongly urges its use, especially when dangers threaten. The devil hates holy water because of its power over him. He cannot long abide in a place or near a person that is often sprinkled with this blessed water.
