Our Lady of Good Counsel Hymn 2016
Our Lady of Good Counsel, April 26th
This title honouring Mary appears early in Christian history. In return for financial assistance in renovating the church of St. Mary Major in Rome, Pope Sixtus III granted land to the people of Genazzano, Italy. Eventually, a church was consecrated to Our Lady of Good Counsel was built there and entrusted to the care of the Augustinian Order. Mysteriously, an Albanian icon, Our Lady of Shkodra (Good Counsel), arrived at this church in April 1467. The image depicts Mary and the Christ Child. Numerous healings and miracles have been attributed to the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel. She is the patroness of many women's groups, including the Catholic Women's League of Canada.
