Why You Should Wear the Miraculous Medal #faith #catholic

Description

Why do millions of Catholics wear the Miraculous Medal? In 1830, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré in Paris and revealed the design of a medal that would soon spread throughout the Catholic world. The medal reminds us of Mary's Immaculate Conception, her intercession, and her role in leading souls to Jesus Christ. It has also been associated with extraordinary conversions and favors throughout its history. But the Miraculous Medal is not a lucky charm or magic object. It is a Catholic sacramental—an outward sign that disposes us toward grace and reminds us to place our confidence in God while seeking Our Lady's intercession. “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” Subscribe to Catholic Voices and Prayers for daily Catholic truth, traditional devotions, the Holy Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Saint Michael Chaplet, and other powerful Catholic prayers.
