"Perpetual Help" is one of the best known calls relating to the Mother of God among the Christians.
In the icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, the Child Jesus is not portrayed with the physical proportions of an infant, but appears almost as an adult in miniature form. This has been interpreted to indicate that He is God. Yet He is human as well, for He clings to His Mother’s hand in fear, while gazing up toward the angel over His shoulder. One of His sandals has come loose, indicating the haste with which He had run to her.
The Child Jesus is so frightened because the angels in the picture are holding instruments of His Passion and death.
The angel on the left bearing the gall, the lance and the reed, while the angel on the right holds the cross and nails.
The face of Our Lady is grave and sorrowful, with her large eyes directed not at Jesus, but at us.
One feels that she is pleading with us to avoid sin, which has caused her Son to suffer so much for us.
