The Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a booklet containing a set of prayers including the Roman Catholic novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, that was originally published in Jaén, Spain in 1899. It was then widely republished by American Redemptorist priests in 1927, then ultimately revised by Irish and Australian Redemptorist priests in 23 June 1948. The present booklet was mainly co-authored by the Australian priest Father Leo James English, C.Ss.R, and Fra Gerard O'Donnell, and is officially presently used at the Church of San Alphonsus Ligouri in Rome each week, where the original icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is permanently enshrined.〔http://www.baclaranovena.org/About_the%20Shrine/History%20Of%20Our%20Mother%20Of%20Perpetual%20Help%20in%20Baclaran.html〕〔Novena recitation of the Baclaran copy, Church of San Alphonsus - Rome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zg2LU4UYBQ〕 Among Filipino Catholics, the novena is used in Baclaran Church and by Overseas Filipino communities. The popularity of the novena became known due to the authorisation granted by the Holy See to propagate the image, along with including prayers which encouraged the strengthening of marriages, sick and unemployment, which gained quick following from the masses. In the United States, a 9-day televised novena is hosted at the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help hosted by CatholicTV. The icon featured on the show does not bear its canonical crown. ==History== The earliest existing novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help was a booklet already in its third edition, and was published by the Bishop of Madrid, José María Cos y Macho, who granted his imprimatur in 1899. These were followed by re-printing in later years. In the United States, the first novena prayers were compiled by Reverend Joseph Chapoton, the Vice-provincial of Portland, Oregon.〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Our+Lady+of+Perpetual+Help,+gender+roles,+and+the+decline+of...-a021186975〕 After his death in 1925, the laity added more prayers and hymns into the booklet.〔http://www.redemptorists.com/uploads/8/1/6/1/8161810/_issue_14__-_200_december.pdf〕 This perhaps was the main reason why for many years, there was no set of novena prayers designated for Perpetual Help. By research within the United States, numerous texts vary from the Perpetual Help novena used in Redemptorist centers in Portland Brooklyn, Boston, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Saint Louis, Missouri. Several versions of the Novena were made and circulated from the now-closed St. Philomena's Church (Pittsburgh). One of these copies, dating from 1927, was brought to Manila in the Philippine Islands. The novena was originally designed for exclusive recitation by the presiding priest. After the Second Vatican Council, the laity were encouraged to participate more in religious activities, thus necessitating a revision of the prayers for uniform use by the laity. The new set of prayers was used in Baclaran Church and became widespread in various Filipino congregations. The specific acts of Benediction and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during the novena service, however, remain the exclusive domain of the presiding priest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
