It is an oval shaped medal with the Blessed Mother on the front. She stands on a globe crushing the head of a serpent, gold rays emit from her hands signifying graces, and 12 stars surround her head representing the apostles.

On the back are two hearts: one of Jesus and hers.

Check out St. Catherine Laboure, and description of the Miraculous Medal.

Tthe Miraculous Medal is one of Mother Teresa’s favorites.

The mother of Jesus spoke to sister Catherine Laboure 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.” Mary wants everyone to have it not just catholics.

“The devotions we practice in honor of the glorious Virgin Mary, however trifling they be, are very pleasing to her divine Son, …” St. Teresa of Jesus

During this apparition, Mary’s hands had 3 rings on each finger. Each ring gave off
rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from
the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said
were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.

Have it blessed. Keep it on all all times. Wear the medal in her honor.

Then say, “Mary I am wearing your gift to me, and I am now asking for the great graces you promised to give.”

It is her wish for you and she will deliver what she promises.

The medal is called Miraculous, and the picture on it is “Our Lady of Grace”.

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Not quite. 🙂 Religious medals such as the Miraculous Medal are considered sacramentals. Once purchased, you go to a priest and have it blessed. You may wear it on a chain around your neck, on a braclet, or as a pin. If, for some reason, you should decide not to wear it, don’t throw it away. Give it to a Catholic or take it to a Catholic church and they’ll give it to someone.

I recently learned that Anglican Catholics (hope that name is correct) also have rosaries with four decades rather than five like ours. You would care for the medal the same way you’d care for an Anglican rosary. 👍

Kk, I’m still going to get one because in the church of England we can venerate Mary as much or as little as we wan’t to.

Go for it mate… you must be Anglo-Catholic. Ever thought of entering the Church through the Anglican ordinariate? They retain much of the Anglican liturgy.

I am, Anglo-Catholic is another name for High Church Anglicanism.

That’s great! I wasn’t trying to discourage you. I just wanted you to understand it was more than a Bible charm.

Don’t worry I didn’t think you were, lol both of us were confused 🙂 I was just saying that because in the past people have thought it odd when I’ve mentioned Mary because I’m Anglican, that’s all 🙂
