At Least you don't have to envy my memory, HH, I said the house of St Bernadette was Le Cabot - it should be Le Cachot. No mistake about the following in Paris. https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=chocolat+ru+du+bac&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=iGU_WKTeK6br8AeXvYCQDw#q=chocolat rue du bac&tbs=lf_msr:-1,lf:1,lf_ui:9,lf_pqs:EAE&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=48853276,2324218,218&tbm=lcl&rldimm=4442604083598186834&gfe_rd=cr So many yummy places in Paris. And just around the corner is St Vincent de Paul. Padraig has posted his tomb before but here another version. oops some of these incorrupt bodies don't look so incorrupt.
Thank you so much for this Beth ,I think I might get myself this for a Chrsitmas present, it is gorgeous. Also a wonderful Sacramental
I know that a lot of us here wear a Miraculous Medal. There may be extra graces available today since it is the feast day, so gather the graces while they're still available! "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."
Click on that title, Triple Threat WWI Military Battle Beads....it will show you all of the kinds you can order.
I thought all you have to do is wear it. To be honest, I used to be unsure about medals and thought they were just nice reminders to pray. And I also used to struggle to pray the rosary and did not pray much to our lady. I know it seems foolish now but I just really focused my prayers to God and Jesus and sometimes Padre Pio. But it all changed when I started to spot the miraculous medal in places and started to have people offer me a miraculous medal which I kept politely refusing until one guy insisted that I take it. I left it sitting on my bedside unit but didn't touch it until I listened to a youtube sermon from sensus fidelium which was about how important the Virgin Mary is for us. Half way through the sermon, I immediately got down and prayed and apologized to Jesus and Our Lady for not praying to her more and then said to her and Jesus that I will wear the miraculous medal for a few days in reparation. Well its hard to describe, but basically I have worn it every day since. And I don't fully understand how, but the rosary became much easier to pray and at the same time certain sins I was committing fell away and I became more aware of other sins and I think I have in some ways become more at peace with God. I don't think I done an enrolment but on the first day I wore it, I had a priest bless it.
You can get graces by wearing it; but even greater graces are available if you enroll in the confraternity. Read about it here: How the Miraculous Medal Changed My Life by Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
Thanks for sharing! OurLady has secured great graces for those who wear this medal. The story of Alphonse Ratisbonne is worth looking into. He was an atheist Jew who hated the Church and put on the medal on a dare from a friend and was converted on the spot! And became a priest. You can’t go wrong wearing this medal. It honors Our Lady and she in turn takes special care of us
I am a Miraculous Medal Promoter (Official). I don’t exactly know how that happened to me There are two associations in the US The first one was formed in Philadelphia The other one is in the Midwest Cammonline.org And amm.org You can have Masses said and be in the Novenas of Masses good thread Thanks for the info, Muzhik
Go to the Gift Shop and order some Blessed Mother holy oil touched to the relic of St. Catherine Laboure. I think that might be in the Midwest, the amm.org link. It awes me that Blessed Mother has drawn us all together here. This thread is just further proof. A little history, the shrine in Philly was first, and then I believe it may have been in the 1800's that the priests braved the frontier and opened the shrine in the Midwest. Brave Catholics went before us in this country.
