The Franciscan Minims of the Perpetual Help of Mary are a religious congregation of men and women, located in Mexico City, near the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They have publications in Spanish and in English, and on this page we make available some of their publications in English and a link to their magazine Reflections. The Portavoz (messenger) was a nun belonging to the Franciscan Minims, and since 1969 her writings have been spread in English, French, German, Japanese and other languages.


Our Lady of Perpetual Help

This famous image of Mary is now in the Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Rome.

  Image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

The miraculous image of Mary, known under the title of Perpetual Help, was venerated as early as the 15th century on the isle of Crete. At that time, a pious merchant from that island found himself obliged, by the invasion of the Turks, to abandon his native land. Fearing that the sacred image would fall into the hands of the impious persecutors of the Catholic religion, he took it with him to preserve it from sacrilegious profanation.
