On Saint Mark’s Day April 25, 1467 in the town of Genazzano, Italy, an icon of Our Lady was observed to hang suspended in the air without any support in the church of Santa Maria.
This miraculous phenomenon led to the pilgrimage of thousands of individuals and countless reported miracles.
Since 1467, various popes have propagated devotion to Our Lady of Good Counsel and visited Genazzano. There are many churches and institutions named Our Lady of Good Counsel in honor of this devotion.
Our Lady of Good Counsel, Pray for us!
Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel
Most glorious Virgin, chosen by the eternal Counsel to be the Mother of the eternal Word made flesh, thou who art the treasurer of divine graces and the advocate of sinners, I who am thy most unworthy servant have recourse to thee; be thou pleased to be my guide and counselor in this vale of tears.
Obtain for me through the Most Precious Blood of thy divine Son, the forgiveness of my sins, the salvation of my soul and the means necessary to obtain it. In like manner obtain for Holy Church victory over her enemies and the spread of the kingdom of Jesus Christ upon the whole earth. Amen.
(Indulgence of 500 days)
