One of the many lovely Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary is under the title Nostra Mater De Perpetuo Succursu. In the English-speaking world, succursu had always been translated as "succour". More recently translated as "perpetual help", this does not fully convey the meaning of the Latin word subcurro : to run to the assistance of. Perhaps "of perpetual assistance" would be better than "help" but both lack the vigour of the Latin.
Our Mother who unceasingly hastens to our assistance. What a comforting thought. Her very name inspires confidence.
