The Significance of the Medal:
The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, is one of the most beloved of all religious medals. In 1830, the Virgin Mary appeared to a French nun named Sister Catherin Laboure (now a Saint).
The Virgin Mary showed Sister Catherin her vision of this exact medal,
which she directed to be struck and distributed.
The medal includes the Virgin Mary, a cross, two hearts and 12 stars.
THE MEANING OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
On the front
of the Miraculous Medal, Mary stands on a globe, representing the earth, with a
crushed snake under her feet. This image represent Mary's role as "Queen
of Heaven and Earth". The snake represents Satan, who was defeated by
Mary's obedience to God. The rays coming from her hands symbolize the graces
Mary gives to those who ask her. The year 1830 commemorates the year that the
Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Laboure.
On the
reverse side of the Miraculous Medal is a cross and the letter "M".
The cross represents Christ's sacrifice for our salvation, while the bar under
the cross stands for the Earth. The "M" stands for "Mary"
and her true devotion both to Jesus and to her children on Earth. The two
hearts are the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary. The entire image is surrounded by twelve stars. The stars can
represent both the twelve Apostles and the verse from the Book of Revelation,
"a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of 12 stars" (Revelation
12:1).
THE PROMISES OF THE MEDAL
During Our Lady's visit to Catherine on November 27,1830, rays of light flowed
from rings on her fingers that were made of precious stones. However, some of
the stones on the ring did not shine. Mary explained:
"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."
Mary then spoke of the medal with these words:
"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."
The medal is simply a visible sign of the inner devotion the wearer
has for Mary and her Son, Jesus.
THE MIRACLES
Originally, the name of the medal was "Medal of the Immaculate
Conception", however stories of miracles related to the medal were
reported almost immediately and the medal came to be called
"Miraculous".
1. In Paris, an 8 year old girl was the only one in her class that did not wear
a medal and was the only one who caught cholera. She was given a medal and
returned to school the next day.
2. A woman who was pregnant contracted cholera and was thought close to death.
After being given the medal she had a smooth delivery and both mother and baby
were found to be healthy.
3. A child who had been unable to walk was healed when he wore the medal on the
first day of a novena.
4. In 1842 a young man named Alphonse Tobie Ratisbonne experienced a
conversion. From a Jewish family, Ratisbonne had a deep and very public hatred
of Catholicism. During a trip in 1841, he unexpectedly spent some time in Rome
and met Baron Bussieres, a newly converted Catholic. The two had an argument
about the Faith and the Baron gave Ratisbonne a Miraculous Medal, challenging
him to wear it and recite the prayer the Memorare. Shortly after, Our Lady
appeared to Ratisbonne in exactly the same way as on the Miraculous Medal. He
was converted immediately and was baptized that same night.
After only four years the number of medals that had been distributed numbered
in the millions, and by Catherine's death in 1876 the number was in the
billions.
This medal would make a beautiful addition to any
religious jewelry collection or a treasured keepsake for any family member.
