MIRACULOUS MEDALS (Each Medal Includes a Deluxe Gift Box) The Miraculous Medal was introduced to the world by St. Catherine Labouré, a member of the Daughters of Charity of St.Vincent De Paul in France. In 1830 she received a vision from the Blessed Virgin Mary in which Mary appeared inside an oval frame which bore the inscription “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” The Blessed Mother asked that this image be put on medals, saying “all who wear them will receive great graces.” Many of those wearing the medal did indeed receive blessings and it soon became popularly known as the “Miraculous Medal.” Today, the Miraculous Medal is still a wonderful way of showing, and spreading, devotion to our Lady and our Lord! |
