my secret Mother of Perpetual Help



Mother Of Perpetual Help.

she's not really a secret. she's everyone's mother!
this picture is really interesting. every friday my university church group has like rosary and then a bible session. for lent it's a Station's of the Cross then bible session thingy. and this is what we studied.

so basically from what i learnt. this picture is an icon. so it is actually talking to us. Mary is showing us the way. in actuality, one hand is carrying Jesus. and the other hand is showing us Jesus. Pointing to him.

Jesus is scared in the picture. you can tell by his hands grasping Mary's hands and that one of his sandals fell off showing him in a state of fright.

Jesus is scared because. the angels behind him. one is holding a cross. and the other is holding 2 spears. one with the sponge soak in vinegar. basically it's the Station's of the cross thingy.

From the cross. Jesus told us that Mary was our Mother.
Temptation is probably one of the biggest problems with todays community. i believe. as society potrays a lot of the temptations as "it's okay, everyone does it" it's normal. but all in all. it's still a sin. don't let society get into your heads fellow Catholics! strive. pray hard. go confession. Pray to Mary especially. she will help us and show us the way.
