The listing, Virgin Mary Miraculous medal - Catholic has ended.
The world we experience is both natural and supernatural. Our five senses cannot fully appreciate this. God, in his infinite wisdom and mercy made visible signs that point towards the invisible. The Sacraments are one of the principal examples. The miraculous medal is yet another.
At the Council of Trent stated that when we venerate images of Christ, the Virgin and saints, we are not putting our trust in the images, but in the person they depict. The miraculous medal is a memorial of the Virgin Mary’s love. We have a short memory and not much willpower.
The Virgin Mary gave instructions for the use of the medal: She reminded us to “wear it with confidence,” and this reminds us of the importance of the spiritual life. The purpose of the medal is to receive great graces, reminding us of God’s mercy and the importance of the spiritual life. The Cure of Ars was a zealous apostle of the medal, along with Pope Gregory XVI, Saint Bernadette, Saint Theresa of the child Jesus, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Frederic Ozanam and Cardinal Newman.
At the death of Sister Catherine Laboure in 1876, there were more than a billion medals in circulation. In 1947, Catherine was declared a Saint by Pius XII. The Asssociation of the miraculous medal have members that are linked by prayer and a periodical.
