The story began on July 18, 1830, when Catherine Laboure, a novice of the Daughters of Charity in Paris, was awakened by a beautiful child emanating a heavenly light. He led her to the lit Chapel where Mary, beautifully adorned in a white dress and blue veil, appeared and sat near the altar. Catherine described the first apparition by remarking, “I...
Mary appeared to Catherine again four months later, on November 27, 1830, while at prayer with the other Sisters of Charity. Catherine would later recount that she heard the faint rustling of a silk dress and after glancing in that direction, she saw the Blessed Virgin standing near St. Joseph’s picture. It would be difficult to paraphrase Catherin...
In December of 1830, Catherine heard the rustling sound one final time during meditation. Near the tabernacle, the same image of the medal appeared, and she heard, “These rays are the symbol of the graces that the Blessed Virgin obtains for those who ask them of her…You will not see me anymore.”
During the apparitions, it was requested that Catherine keep Mary’s visits a secret from everyone but her confessor, Father Aladel. He originally dismissed her and told her she had “too much imagination.” On January 30, 1831, Catherine received the habit of the Daughters of Charity and was assigned to the Hospice of Enghein, Reuilly. While there, a...
Sister Catherine’s holiness continued to flow from her ability to see Christ in daily life and she spent the next 46 years of her life at Reuilly humbly serving the elderly patients. While millions of medals had been distributed around the world, only Father Aladel knew the identity of the sister who was blessed to receive the apparition of the Mir...
The Miraculous Medal is a reminder of Mary’s motherly love and powerful intercession in dispensing God’s grace. Mary does God’s will perfectly and we should wear the medal with love and trust while trying our best to imitate her virtues. Each symbol on the medal tells us something about Our Lady and Christ in a simple, yet beautiful way.
Mary stands upon the globe, as queen of heaven and earth, crushing a serpent beneath her feet. The serpent represents Satan who was defeated by Mary’s obedience to God.The rays coming from Mary’s hands symbolize the graces that Mary sheds upon those who ask for them. The fingers that do not have rays falling are the graces for which souls forget to ask.The year 1830 is in remembrance of the year the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine.“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” These words from the vision form an oval around Mary.The cross represents Christ’s sacrifice for our salvation.The bar underneath the cross is representative of the Earth.The M stands for “Mary”, which is interwoven with the bar and cross to symbolize her true devotion to Jesus and her children on Earth.The Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary represent their love for us.The year 1830 on the Miraculous Medal is the year the Blessed Mother gave the design of the Miraculous Medal to St. Catherine. The reference to “Mary conceived without sin” supports the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary — referring to Mary being sinless, “full of grace,” and “blessed among women” (Lk. 1:28).
The Miraculous Medal has a special place in the hearts of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, since it paved the way for the Church's official declaration of the dogma in 1854. The medal is striking because Our Lady herself presented the familiar design. The front of the medal depicts Mary standing on a globe, with the head of a ...
