Our Lady Of Good Remedy

Send us Fan Mail

A ransom you can’t afford. A situation you can’t control. A loved one you can’t rescue with sheer effort. That kind of helpless waiting isn’t new, and it’s exactly where devotion to Our Lady of Good Remedy takes root. We tell the story behind this Marian title and why generations of Catholics have turned to Mary when the need feels bigger than their resources. 

We walk through the Trinitarian Order’s mission of redemption of captives, founded by St. John of Matha in 1198, and the tradition that the friars placed their work under the care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Alongside the history, we unpack what “good remedy” really means in Catholic spirituality: not a promise of an easy escape, but a mother’s intercession that brings our urgent needs to Jesus Christ, the true Redeemer, and forms us into people who can act with courage and generosity. 

Then we bring it home to modern life. We talk about the burdens that can make us feel trapped: financial strain and debt, illness and grief, fear that dries up prayer, or a family member drifting from the faith. We share practical, simple steps to live this devotion day to day and on the October 8 feast of Our Lady of Good Remedy, including praying a decade of the rosary, naming specific intentions, and asking what concrete work of mercy God is inviting us to do while we wait. 

If you’ve been searching for a Catholic prayer practice that holds together trust, perseverance, and real action, this conversation will meet you there. Subscribe for more stories of saints and Marian devotions, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review with the “remedy” you’re asking for right now.
