Our Lady of Guadalupe

a powerful intercessor for all in need of mercy and healing.

“Listen and let it penetrate your heart…do not be troubled or weighed down with grief. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?”
- Mama Mary to Juan Diego

St. Josephine Bakhita

a great intercessor for those suffering within and outside the Church.

“…what truly makes Bakhita a patron for all who have endured affliction is not that she was a slave, but that she was redeemed. If her early life was a case study in abuse and suffering, her adult life, as we will see, is a case study in healing and forgiveness.” - Dawn Eden, My Peace I Give You

St. Pope John Paul II

a great preacher of human dignity and the power of suffering.

”…the weaknesses of all human sufferings are capable of being infused with the same power of God manifested in Christ’s Cross… every form of suffering, given fresh life by the power of this Cross, should become no longer the weakness of man but the power of God.”
-JPII, Salvifici Doloris
