INCREDIBLY VARIED ARE THE TITLES UNDER WHICH OUR BLESSED MOTHER RESPONDS

From http://www.spiritdaily.com/Marytitles.htm

 
As we all know, there are nearly countless titles for Our Blessed Mother. All it takes is a glance at a litany! For good reason: she has been a miraculous intercessor since the first century and assists with every aspect of life and every need. How is this [below]? -- as just one list (none are complete; we can immediately think of titles to add to it, such as "Our Lady of the Word"). And here is a description and history of some of her titles.
Most recently, we have seen her under unique titles, including the extremely popular "Our Lady Undoer of Knots." This has formed what many attest to as a powerful novena. There is "Our Lady of Surprises." Try that one; it can be amazing. ("O Mary, my mother and Our Lady of Surprises, what a happy joy you caused the wedding guests, when you asked your Divine Son to work the miracle of water into wine. What a happy surprise for them since they thought the wine had run dry. I, too, Mary, love surprises and as your child, may I ask you to favor me with one today? I ask this only because you are my ever caring mother.")
Yet another "new" one (at least to us) is a prayer invoking Mary as "My Mother, My Confidence."
As a little prayer card explains, "Our Lady of Confidence has a long record of granting many remarkable favors through the veneration of her under this title. She has been revered in Italy in many churches, but the most notable shrine in her honor under this title is the Chapel of the Major Seminary in the Lateran Palace in Rome.
"Pope John XXII, an alumnus of this seminary, often prayed before the picture of Our Lady of Confidence in this chapel and celebrated his first Mass there and as the Holy Father he was still a frequent visitor.
"Twice in past centuries, the city of Rome was saved from the ravages of cholera after the people prayed to Our Lady of Confidence. During  World War One, the superiors and students of the Roman Seminary placed under her protection the 124 seminarians who were called to serve in the armed forces. All of them returned safely to the seminary.
"In 1941, a Dominican sister in Michigan made a remarkable recovery after the sisters at her bedside invoked the help of the Blessed Lady with the aspiration, 'My Mother, My Confidence."
This devotion has ecclesiastical approval:
"O Mary Immaculate, the precious name of Mother of Confidence, with which we honor you, fill our hearts to overflowing with the sweetest consolation and move us to hope for every blessing from you. If such a title has been given to you, it is a sure sign that no one has recourse to you in vain. Accept, therefore, with a mother's love, our devout homage, as we earnestly beseech you to be gracious to us in our every need. We pray that you will make us live in constant union with you and your Divine Son Jesus. With you as our guide, we are certain that we shall walk in the right way and that it will be our happy lot to hear you say on the last days of our lives those words of comfort: 'Come, my good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord."
Amen.
