Today we celebrate the feast of St. Catherine Labouré, a member of the Daughters of Charity who devoted her life to serving others and had the extraordinary privilege of being a Marian visionary. 😇

During a series of visions in 1830, the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed to Catherine the design of the Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of Our Lady of Graces. This medal, worn by millions of believers around the globe, serves as a powerful symbol of faith, protection, and divine intercession. 🙏🏽

Let us take a moment today to reflect on St. Catherine's unwavering commitment to our faith and her incredible role in spreading devotion to Our Lady through the Miraculous Medal.

Ngayong Sabado de Gloria, taimtim tayong manalangin at alalahanin ang mga naging sakripisyo ni Hesus para sa sanlibutan.

Sama-sama nating pagnilayan ang mga aral na kaakibat ng ating pananampalataya.

Hangad natin ang mapayapang paggunita ng Mahal na Araw ngayong taon.

Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France.

The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a “lady” spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend.

Similar apparitions of the alleged “Lady” were reported on seventeen occasions that year, until the climax revelation of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception took place.

On 18 January 1862, Pope Pius IX authorized Bishop Bertrand-Sévère Laurence to permit the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes. On 3 July 1876, the same Pontiff officially granted a Canonical Coronation to the image that used to be in the courtyard of what is now part of the Rosary Basilica.
