Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor
>The image is also known by its connection to President Andrew Jackson who was present before the image during and after the Battle of New Orleans against the British invasion
>The response from President Thomas Jefferson is still kept at the convent to this day:
>…I have received, holy sisters, the letter you have written me wherein you express anxiety for the property vested in your institutions by the former governments of Louisiana. The principles of the Constitution and government of the United States are a sure guarantee to you that it will be preserved to you sacred and inviolate, and that your institution will be permitted to govern itself according to its own voluntary rules, without interference from the civil authority…. Be assured it will meet all the protection which my office can give it.
>General Andrew Jackson's 6,000 American troops faced 15,000 British soldiers on the plains of Chalmette
> …British defeated. They had become confused by a fog and wandered into a swamp
Remember Lepanto! God Bless America!
