Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (Nov 27), and
commemorate the apparitions of Our Lady to St Catherine Laboure, whose feast day is tomorrow (Nov 28). Our Lady revealed to St. Catherine God’s special blessings and purposes for the Miraculous Medal.

Sister Catherine’s description of the apparition of Our Lady on November 27, 1830, makes it clear that the Medal originated with the Mother of God herself….”Her feet rested on a white globe…I saw rings on her fingers…Each ring was set with gems…the larger gems emitted greater rays and the smaller gems, smaller rays…I could not express…what I saw, the beauty and the brilliance of the dazzling rays.” Catherine heard an interior voice: “These rays symbolize the graces I shed upon those who ask for them. The gems from which rays do not fall are the graces for which souls forget to ask.” An oval frame formed around the Blessed Virgin, and within it in letters of gold Catherine read the words: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.”
