OUR LADY OF GOOD REMEDY

Principal Patroness of the Trinitarian Order

The Trinitarians have honored the Virgin Mary since she is the Daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the Sacred Vessel of the Holy Trinity.

According to very ancient documents, the feast of the Virgin was celebrated solemnly by Trinitarians. Every week since the year 1262, by a special indult, the Trinitarian communities prayed the office of the Virgin. The Trinitarians were moved to show this special devotion to the Virgin because of her relationship with the three persons of the Trinity, because of the great love with which the vision collaborated in the redemption of the world, and because often, when carrying redemptions of captives, they experienced special help from the Virgin of Remedy.

All of this contributed to the fact that the Trinitarians became known for their veneration of the Virgin under the title of “Remedy” or “Good Remedy” and that confraternities, altars, and images were set up in her honor. By singular graces, the Virgin manifested how pleased she was by this invocation.

The Solemnity of Our Lady of Good Remedy is celebrated on October 8.
