Hi all,

Today I bought myself a new Miraculous Medal necklace. I have a gold one and a silver one, the silver being kind of ornate, and really wanted just a simple sterling silver one to wear along with my sterling silver Crucifix.
I had it blesses tonight after Mass and just feel better wearing it.
Anyone else wear a Miraculous Medal?
 
I have a Miraculous Medal attached to a rosary which I keep in my wallet so, technically, I carry it with me most of the day. I don’t wear one, though, just a cross necklace.
 
Absolutely! I wear a very inexpensive blue enameled medal. I think it’s made of aluminum, and it cost me all of $1.50, but it’s very eye catching and I get compliments on it all the time. So much so that I started carrying them with me to give away to anyone who said they liked it!

I don’t have it blessed though. I’ve lost it a few times because the jump ring failed, so I don’t feel safe in making it a sacramental. I’m not sure if I should have it blessed or not for that reason. Probably a bit too scrupulous of me to think that way… 😊
 
Here is an interesting story about the medal.

The Chapel of the Miraculous Medal in Paris​

The following testimony was originally was told to me, by a sister from the Daughters of Charity a few years ago. I have recently amended the account of the testimony, when some new facts came to light. (I thank my both my original source, and the more recent source of this information.)

A mother from Brazil took her dying daughter on a trip to Paris, to visit the chapel where the apparitions of the Miraculous Medal occurred in 1830. When they arrived at the chapel, they saw a nun who was arranging flowers on the sanctuary. The mother asked her if it would be possible for her daughter to touch the chair, that our Lady had sat on while talking to Saint Catherine Labouré during one of the visions. The nun said that it was not allowed. She then went into the back room to get some more flowers. The area where the chair was, had been roped off. The mother thought to herself, “I did not come all this way, just to look at the chair.” She told her daughter to get down on the floor, work her way on her stomach under the rope, move up and quickly touch the chair and then come back. To the mother’s distress the little girl went up to the chair, and placed her head upon it, and would not come back for quite a while despite her mother’s pleading. The mother was worried that the nun would come back and that they would get into trouble. Eventually the little girl came back, and the mother asked her why she had done this. Her reply was “I am sorry mummy, but the lady told me to rest my head on her lap”. After this they returned to Brazil on the plane. Soon after their return to Brazil doctors found that the child was fully healed.

The prayer on the Miraculous Medal prayer is: “O Mary conceived without sin pray for us, who have recourse to thee”. Many favours are granted to those who wear the Miraculous Medal and who pray to Our Lady confidently trusting in her intercession. These favours include healings, protection in danger, conversions, help to fight temptations and many other needs such as employment. The feast day of the Miraculous Medal is celebrated on November 27.

From my book: Help from Heaven (Answers to prayer)
 
Most of my kids wear a Miraculous Medal. I used to, but I lost mine. I do have one on my key ring though.

I would be good to have them all blessed. I won’t hurt anyone or any rule if you lose it.
With the proper blessing, it has the church’s blessing on it, not just an individual’s blessing.

Here is what Mary said to sister Catherine Laboure in 1830:
“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it
around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”

Later Mary said, “… it must be given to the whole world and to every person.”
 
Yes. I swear the Miraculous Medal, Brown Scapular, and daily Rosary are some of the only things keeping me sane lately. Mom is so great!
 
I superglued my MM to the back of my St. Benedict medal. Now I pack twice the punch! I didnt like them clinging together. I prefer to be stealthy:cool:
 
I always have my Miraculous Medal and a Crucifix on a silver chain around my neck. Couldnt imagine not wearing them.
 
Yes, I have one. I don’t wear it though, I just wear a blessed crucifix 24/7.
 
I wear both a Miraculous Medal and crucifix necklace at all times (excluding when I need to use the bathroom or take a shower). I pray the Miraculous Medal prayer (“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee”) every time I put it on and take it off.

In fact, I got my Miraculous Medal blessed today after Mass. 🙂
 
I wear a silver Miraculous Medal and a Celtic cross daily. I leave it on to shower and sleep. Only take it off if I really dress up and wear a dressier necklace.

I am going to get a “gold” Miraculous Medal ( sterling dipped in gold) to wear with my gold crucifix.

I mostly wear white metals, but sometimes wear yellow gold.

I love my mm and cross. They remind me I am loved. :love:
 
I used to wear a large Miraculous Medal, but I’ve since replaced it with a cruciform (4-way medal) which contains a Miraculous Medal along with the Sacred Heart, Saint Joseph, and Saint Christopher Medals.
 
I got a Miraculous Medal back in high school, at a retreat. I wore it but stopped after awhile. I’ve recently started wearing it again. I think it’s a great reminder for me of my faith, and reminder to ask for Mary’s intercession 🙂
