Miraculous Medal Question

[jcian12]

Are there any special prayers said on blessing the miraculous medal or is it blessed as a sacramental?
And also, do you have to be enrolled just like in the brown scapular?

Thanks and God bless!

Hello jcian12-
From what I have read about the Miraculous Medal, it does not need to be blessed in a special way and you do not need to enroll. You need only wear it reverently, perferably around the neck, while remembering to pray daily, “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!”
God Bless You!

I believe this is correct. The Association of the MM is a good source.

I wear it and say the prayer whenever I take it off or put it on at the beginning and end of the day. (I cant sleep with necklaces on)

St. Catherince LaBoure, pray for us.

There is a prayer of Consecration to the Miraculous Medal that I say every day since I have a great devotion to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.

An Act of Consecration to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
O Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we dedicate and consecrate ourselves to you under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. May this Medal be for each one of us a sure sign of your affection for us and a constant reminder of our duties toward you. Ever while wearing it, may we be blessed by your loving protection and preserved in the grace of your Son. O most powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep us close to you every moment of our lives. Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy death; so that, in union with you, we may enjoy the bliss of heaven forever. Amen.

God bless

There is a site honoring the Miraculous Medal. The association for the USA was founded in Perryville Missouri in 1918. It is stil supervised by the priests of teh Congregation of the Mission (community of priests founded by St. Vincent de Paul).

O Mary, conceived without sin pray, for us who have recourse to thee!
St. Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

Thank you so much for the responses! I already have a miraculous medal and I think I’ll have it blessed soon.

This is nice to say though:

I, (name), a faithless sinner,
renew and ratify today in thy hands,
O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my baptism;
I renounce Satan, his pomps and works;
and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ,
the Incarnate Wisdom,
to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life,
and to be more faithful to Him
than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the Heavenly court
I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress.
I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave,
my body and soul, my goods,
both interior and exterior,
and even the value of all my good actions,
past, present and future;
leaving to thee the entire and
full right of disposing of me,
and all that belongs to me, without exception,
according to thy good pleasure,
for the greater glory of God,
in time and in eternity.

Amen.

That was wonderful! And I just had the idea of getting my miraculous medal blessed on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the feast I chose for my consecration
Thank you so much!
