Today, November 27, is the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. St. Catherine Laboure, pray for us.
Thank you for the reminder. I have been wearing the Miraculous Medal since 2011. Had the pleasure to visit Rue de Bac several times, the last time this September, together with my oldest kids. We had a six-hour stopover in Paris of all places during our flights back from Germany. I think that seeing the incorrupt bodies of St. Catherine Laboure and her fellow Sister made a big impression on my kids, hopefully strengthening their faith.
The Miraculous Medals are brilliant for conversions. If you have anyone in your family you want to see converted buy them a beautiful medal and talk them into promising to wear it even for a few weeks and stand by and watch what happens. There have been the most incredible conversions through doing this.
It was really wonderful when Our Lady appeared that St Catherine Laboure rushed over like the smallest child, knelt before her and placed her head in her Mother's lap. I have never heard of a saint before who did something like this. She was very,very pure, simple, humble, innocent, childlike. Outstanding.
