The Fourteen Holy Helpers
It is said that whoever calls upon one or all of the Fourteen Holy Helpers in times of greatest need shall receive help in a miraculous way.
This belief solidified during the time of the Plague (14th century) and evolved further a century later when a shepherd from Upper Franconia experienced a vision of a Holy Helper in the form of an angel. Since then, numerous reports have confirmed how physical and spiritual emergencies were averted through petitions to these helpers.
You can call upon each of the Holy Helpers individually or all together—no matter what the distress. They should be viewed similarly to ascended masters.
