Novena of the Miraculous Medal
(The miraculous medal is a gift to mankind
from the Mediatrix of all Graces)
The current Marian times
had their beginning in 1830, when Our Blessed Mother appeared to Catherine Laboure in the
convent at Rue de Bac, in Paris, France, as the Mediatrix of all Graces, and gave the
Miraculous Medal to the world.
One side of the medal had an
image of the two hearts, the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The
other had an image of Our Lady with arms extended and rays of grace streaming from her
hands.
Novena of the Miraculous Medal
  
Begin Novena(Say for nine consecutive days)
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus and
our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and
never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your
loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors we ask
during this novena, if they be beneficial to our immortal souls, and the souls for whom we
pray.
(Here form your petition)
You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the
sanctuaries of your Son Who hates iniquity.
Obtain for us then a deep hatred of sin, and that purity
of heart which will attach us to God alone, so that our every thought, word and deed may
tend to His greater glory.
Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial
that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin, and at length attain to that
blessed abode where you are the Queen of Angels and of men.
Amen
