Obraz Najświętszej Maryi Panny w pieśniach do Matki Bożej Nieustającej Pomocy

Service to Our Lady of God of Perpetual Succour has been known in Poland since 1869 and due to Redemptorist Fathers it is reborn at present. As a result of research on the content of the church songs to worship Our Lady of God of Perpetual Succour a theological picture of the Holy Virgin Mary functioning in folk piety characteristic for this type of service has appeared. Our Lady of God of Perpetual Succour is beautiful in her picture. Her beauty surpasses other creatures. She is both Queen Mother and Virgin with a loving face and anxious eyes. Our Lady is our Mother helping us continuously. She is a sensitive and carrying Mother, extremely successful in offering help. Her helpful hands and intercession in God cause that as a loving Mother she is an escape and hope for Her worshippers. The picture of Our Lady of God of Perpetual Succour in the songs is correct but not full. On one hand it is in accordance with the statement of the Vatican Council that Church uses in its summons to Blessed Virgin the following titles: Advocate, Succour Mediator but on the other hand this picture requires a supplement in the songs with ecclesiotypical content.
