The Miraculous Medal, also known as the โMedal of the Immaculate Conception,โ was given to us by the Blessed Virgin Mary through her apparitions to St. Catherine Labourรฉ in Paris. Hereโs why you should wear it:
Designed by Our Blessed Mother
Our Lady herself gave St. Catherine precise instructions for the medalโs design, saying: โAll who wear it will receive great graces.โ
Countless Miracles and Graces
Originally called the โMedal of the Immaculate Conception,โ it became the Miraculous Medal after countless healings, conversions, and favors were attributed to it.
Worn by Great Saints
Saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Teresa of Calcutta embraced the Miraculous Medal. Mother Teresa called it a โmedal of charityโ and shared it to remind others of Godโs love.
A Sign of Devotion to Jesus and Mary
The medal features symbols of Mary and Jesus, with the prayer: โO Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.โ
A Reminder to Ask for Help
The rays on the medal symbolize the graces Mary gives to those who ask for them, echoing Matthew 7:7: โAsk, and it shall be given to you.โ
Wear the Miraculous Medal as a sign of faith, devotion, and trust in Godโs grace!
