Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Information page

As I've mentioned before, I am a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Praesidium of The Legion Of Mary. There are many icons of the Blessed Mother, and I never felt too enthused about this particular one. Until now. Tonight I happened upon this site that detailed not only the history of the image, but also the significance of the treatment of both Our Lord and His Mother. NOW I understand why Our Lady has the expression on her face, and why Our Lord is depicted in that way. It makes for very interesting reading. 

It's late but I had to share this. Hope it benefits someone else like it did me!

Also here is a youtube reflection and prayer to Our Lady Of Perpetual Help.
