Meditation

On the night of July 18-19, 1830, St. Catherine Labouré was awakened by a mysterious child who led her to the chapel. There she met the Blessed Virgin Mary, who spoke with her for two hours.

Mary told Catherine of sorrows that would come to France and the world, but promised: "Come to the foot of this altar. There graces will be shed upon all, great and little, who ask for them with confidence and fervor."

Prayer

O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus and our Mother, filled with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, I your loving and trustful child implore you to obtain for me the graces and favors I ask during this Novena.

(Mention your intentions here)

You know, O Mary, how often my soul has been the sanctuary of your Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for me a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach me to God alone.

The Memorare

Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance, or sought your intercession was left unaided.

Meditation

During the first apparition, Mary warned Catherine of great trials that would come. She said: "The times are very evil. Sorrows will come upon France; the throne will be overturned."

But Mary also promised her protection: "There will be victims among the clergy of Paris. The cross will be treated with contempt. But come to the foot of this altar. I shall be with you."

Prayer

O immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus and our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful intercession, I beseech you to be my protection in the trials of life.

Meditation

Mary foretold to Catherine that "the cross will be treated with contempt; it will be hurled to the ground." She wept as she spoke of the sufferings that would befall the Church.

Yet through the Miraculous Medal, Mary offers us a remedy for these evils. The medal bears the cross as a sign of our redemption, calling us to embrace the cross with love.

Prayer

O Mary, you who stood at the foot of the cross and shared in your Son's sufferings, help me to embrace my crosses with courage and love.

Obtain for me the grace never to despise the cross but to see in it the instrument of my salvation. May I glory in the cross of Christ and find in it my hope and strength.

Meditation

On November 27, 1830, Mary appeared to Catherine standing on a globe, crushing a serpent beneath her feet. Rays of light streamed from rings on her fingers, symbolizing the graces she obtains for those who ask.

Mary said: "These rays symbolize the graces I shed upon those who ask for them." Some gems gave no light—representing "graces for which souls forget to ask."

Prayer

O Mary, powerful Virgin, you who crush the head of the ancient serpent, protect me from all the snares of the enemy.

Help me to resist temptation and to flee from sin. Cover me with your mantle of grace and obtain for me the graces I need but often forget to ask for.

Meditation

Catherine saw Mary holding a golden globe surmounted by a small cross, which she offered to God. This represents the world and each soul in particular, which Mary presents to God.

Her eyes were raised to heaven as she prayed for us. This image reminds us that Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces, constantly interceding for her children before the throne of God.

Prayer

O Virgin Mary, you who hold the whole world in your hands and present it to God, I entrust my life and my needs to your maternal care.

Meditation

Mary told Catherine: "Have a medal struck after this model. Those who wear it, blessed, around their neck will receive great graces. The graces will be abundant for those who wear it with confidence."

The first medals were made in 1832. Almost immediately, miracles began to occur, and the medal became known as "the Miraculous Medal."

Prayer

O Mary, you who have given us the Miraculous Medal as a sign of your love and protection, I wear it with faith and confidence.

Grant me the graces you have promised to those who wear it worthily. May this medal be a constant reminder of your presence and protection in my life.

The reverse of the medal shows the letter M surmounted by a cross, with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary below. The Heart of Jesus is crowned with thorns; the Heart of Mary is pierced by a sword.

These Hearts remind us of the love and suffering of Jesus and Mary for our salvation. They invite us to unite our hearts to theirs in love and reparation.

St. Catherine Labouré prophesied: "Oh, how wonderful it will be to hear people say: 'Mary is the Queen of the Universe... She will be especially the Queen of France, and her reign will be very great.'"

Through the Miraculous Medal, Mary has been proclaimed Queen throughout the world. Millions wear her medal and invoke her powerful intercession.
