Icon of Love (Hymn written by Fr Massang)
This hymn will be sung at the Opening and Blessing of the church on Wednesday during the Consecration of the Shrine. It is lovingly written by Fr. Patrick Massang and is based on the Redemptorist's devotion and love to Our Mother of Perpetual Help - to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Icon of Mother of Perpetual Help given to the Redemptorists by Pope Pius IX.
Fr. Massang took 3 days to write the lyrics and 6 months for the composer to fine tune the details.

The earliest documented history of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help icon is sometime in the year 1495. People in Crete venerated Our Lady because numerous prayer requests had been granted to those who were devoted to her.
There has been speculation on how a merchant from the island was able to acquire the icon. Regardless of how he had been able to do so, he brought the painting to Rome and fell ill soon after. His dying request to a Roman friend was to have the painting hung in a church as soon as possible. The merchant’s friend didn’t fulfill his promise until the Virgin appeared in his dream.
She instructed him to carry out the last will of his deceased friend. She appeared to him in two subsequent dreams to persuade him to do so. The Virgin also emerged in his young daughter’s dream, telling her that the Blessed Mother wants to be placed in a church to be shown for veneration.
The image was enshrined at the Church of St. Matthew the Apostle in Rome on March 27, 1499. Faithful devotees flocked to the church for the next 300 years.
