I have worn the Miraculous Medal for years and I know deep down that great things have happened to me as well as feeling perfectly safe. I just wouldnāt feel comfortable without it.
It is also my favorite gift to give people. My nephew who was in Iraq and now stationed in Afganistan keeps his Medal with him always.
God Bless Pope Benedict XVI!

What has been most amazing to me is how it attracts peopleās attention. It has caused many people to ask me about my faith and I find I have to defend it. This caused me to learn more about my faith and it has opened the door to many conversations about Jesus and Mary and Catholicism.
My husband and I visited Rue de Bac in Paris where the apparitions took place. We were on our honeymoon. My husband was a new convert and really didnāt want to go at all. I told him I was going with or without him. I hadnāt travelled all the way to Paris to NOT go there! But once we went into the church (mass was just clearing out) he knelt down and just prayed and prayed in a trance like state. Iād never seen him pray like that nor have I since. After we left the chapel he bought me a package of gold tone Miraculous medals. That was nearly 12 years ago and Iāve been wearing one ever since. He even went back there without me once and got another package of new ones!

I began to wear the Miraculous Medal after I enrolled in the Militia Immaculata about a year and a half ago. I know that there is much grace in my life because it is my love for Our Lord and the devotion and admiration of the Blessed Virgin that keeps me away from occasions of sin. I know that I belong to Our Lord as part of His motherās army that are out to spread the Gospel. So often I can sense the nearness of the Lord and His angels as they work to keep me from impure thoughts and being a complete jerk.
Our Lady is one of my heroes because she treasured things about Jesus in her heart and had the guts to say yes to God and then to bear all the sorrows that she did in seeing Our Lord suffer & die.
āO Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee, and for all those who do not have recourse to theeā¦ā

I recieved a miraculus meadal and have worn it since my mom and step-dadās wedding. I do not keep track of the innumerable graces it has no doubt brought me (well the intention of the meadal, not the object itself). Moat recently, my thoughts have turned to it when i was tempted to many sins and i suddlenly become unable to do it.

Before I picked up the phone and told my priest that I needed to become Catholic, I began attending Saturday morning Mass at my parish, where we pray the Miraculous Medal novena afterwards and venerate a first class relic of St. Catherine Laboure. I needed a miracle in my life if I were going to enter the Church ā so big a miracle that I didnāt even think to pray for it. A HUGE obstacle had to be removed.
And it was, and it has not returned.
It wasnāt until nearly a year after I came into the Church that I did the arithmetic and realized that the obstacle to my becoming Catholic had vanished on precisely the NINTH consecutive Saturday of my attendance at the Miraculous Medal novena.

I was given a gold Miraculous Medal by a friend years ago right as I was in the process of changing jobs. I never realized the significance then to the Miraculous Medal over any other of Mary that I have worn in the past. Our Lady always seemed to watch over me either way.
But a week ago one of the Mothers handed me what she thought was about 300 medals for the students. Last weekend I put them all on ribbons for our students and found out that there were only 157 not enough for our 180 students that I needed them for. I went to a few stores to find the identical medals for the rest of the students with no luck.
Father was to come and do the blessing on the medals and each student would receive one. But I did not have enough and Father was late. He came to my classroom and apologized asking if we could do it tomorrow I said fine since I did not have enough medals anyway. He looked at the gold medals as he walked by and said oh I have about 50 of those. Needless to say every student the following day received a medal and I told them what everything on the medal meant. It was very beautiful and a wonderful way to close Maryās month.

When my non-Catholic sister in law died, our oldest child was around 11 yrs old. Before we left the viewing, my brother (whose wife had just died) asked if he could take dd for a short walk and talk to her. He wanted to tell her that his late wife was fond of her - more so than other nieces and nephews, for various reasons.
On the drive home, our dd was crying and worried. She was worried that she would have bad dreams that night. I assumed she was worried about bad dreams because she had seen her auntās body at the viewing. It turns out she only had bad dreams when she didnāt wear her Miraculous medal to bed. While she and my brother were walking, she had taken off her medal and given it to him!
Of course we got her another one right away. My brother still wears the medal, 8 yrs later. āKCT

Please tell how you have obtained graces from devotion to the miraculous medal and how Jesus, thru Mary, has blessed your life by wearing it.
In the 1990s, as a non-catholic (actually a ānothingā for many years) I had just begun to attend the traditional latin mass at an SSPX chapel after rediscovering in the 1980s that the TLM was still being said - ie that it hadnāt disappeared altogether as Iād thought. (In the sixties as a university student like you are now, I had been on the point of taking instructions in order to convert to Catholicism, but with the sudden introduction of the new mass I paused and then lost my ardour to convert.).
A friend who had introduced me to the TLM he attended, came back from a visit to Paris and gave me a fairly large (and blessed) miraculous medal and suggested I wear it. I did so for much of the next few months and whenever I wore it, it quickly helped me break down my petty self pride and laziness. Soon after that I could no longer resist my previous inhibitions and took instructions, declared the full (pre-V2) profession of faith for converts, was conditionally baptised and entered the Church. I was of course wearing the medal throughout this time and I am convinced that the miraculous medal was the means which cracked by sloth and brought me into the one true church. I now only attend the TLM (either the indult or the SSPX, wherever I can find it as I travel away a lot) and wonder how/why it took me so long to make the wonderful step to become a Catholicā¦

This thread is of great interest to me, because Iāve been wondering exactly what a Miraculous Medal is, and whether it is appropriate to wear one. I received one in the mail a week or two ago and have not put it on because I donāt have enough information. Anything you can tell me would be of great help. :yup:

Are there any specific promises Our Lady made to those who wear a Miraculous Medal? Or certain graces traditionally believed to be connected with wearing the medal? I donā't really know anything about it.This is for people who wear the miraculous medal. Please tell how you have obtained graces from devotion to the miraculous medal and how Jesus, thru Mary, has blessed your life by wearing it. Thank you.

I have been a Catholic for 60 years. I had not attributed what has happened to me until I saw this Title.
My daughter recently started wearing a Miraculous Medal and one evening, I got out a Miraculous Medal I had received as a child and I began wearing it every day.
I just realized that since that time, I have started saying the rosary daily. Also, I attend morning Mass several times during the week. I have also begun reading Catholic literature(something I never did) I never connected these events with the medal, but perhaps the Blessed Mother is directing me.
Also, I have truly discovered that I do have a Guardian Angel. At one time I would have thought this foolish, but I am convinced that my Guardian Angel has helped on numerous occasions.
I have always a strong feeling for the Blessed Mother-but would only pray to her when I had a problem.
I am certainly still strugging, but am beginning to think before I act and wonder what God would think of my actions.
YES, I am now conviced the Blessed Mother has been helping me since I began wearing the medal!!!

My kidsā grammar school used to take the 8th graders on a one-day trip to Washington D.C. by plane (in the days before 9/11). When my oldest son was going, I gave him a Miraculous Medal to wear around his neck on a chain. When the plane landed in D.C., he noticed that the chain was goneāit must have brokenāand the medal was missing. He felt bad about it, but then, on the way out of the plane, he saw a flight attendant standing in the doorway asking if anyone had lost the Miraculous Medal she was holding up. Although the chain had disappeared, my son got his medal back. I guess Our Lady was watching out for him.

I think I was incomplete in my understanding of the Miraculous Medal. There is more to it than just wearing it out of adoration of Jesus and Mary. There is something much more personal involved with this medal.
In Roman times, jewelery sometimes was a sign or an indication of family heritage. I remember seeing the movie Ben Hur a lot of times. How Judah Ben Hur was adopted by the powerful Roman Arrius and given a ring (as a son of Arrius).
I think we are given the Miraculous Medal to wear as a sign of our legal adoption into a new family. Mary is our Mother. The symbols on the back are much more personal than I first recognized. The Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary display their love for us. Their perfect Love was displayed in Jesusās death on the cross for us. It seems much more to me now that for me to wear this medal is to declare my acceptance of my adoption. And that it also is a sign of Maryās protection since she protects her children. And it is a display how much God paid to redeem us.
