Astronomers say that some 200 billion trillion stars fill our universe. (That’s a two followed by 23 zeroes — our God is an awesome God!)

The Psalmist says the Lord made the stars and the moon to rule over the night — to be the light that shines through the darkness so that everything may be clearly seen.

Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, is seen crowned with 12 stars. Spiritually speaking, she helps us see more clearly in the dark, radiating the light of God’s love and truth. No other human has so fully clothed herself in Our Lord, Jesus Christ than Mary. All the points of light in this universe cannot begin to approach the brilliance of those 12 stars in the crown of Our Blessed Mother.

Your membership in the Association of the Miraculous Medal tells me that you understand how urgently our world needs Mary’s intercession. I commend your desire to help deliver wounded souls into her promised protection through prayer and her gift of the Miraculous Medal.

Today, I invite you to join AMM’s devoted supporters who belong to our Twelve Stars of Mary Monthly Giving Club. These generous contributors provide year-round gifts to help us reach more people in darkness with God’s own wonderful light.

A pledge at any amount earns you a place in the Twelve Stars. If you commit to a monthly offering of $20 or more, you will receive several thank-you gifts. These include a blessed sterling silver Miraculous Medal on a stainless steel chain, a laminated prayer card, and an inspiring soft-covered volume of Marian devotions.

As a Twelve Stars of Mary member, your generosity will reach people like Daniel F., who shares how Our Lady saved him from the depths of darkness:

         My life had come to a crashing halt from addiction. In the month before my final separation from alcohol and drugs, I began wearing the Miraculous Medal … It was by Mary, through who intercession, that I was miraculously restored from an utterly hopeless state. I continue to wear the medal and have been free of addiction for over five years.

        Not only was I given a new life, I have two children today. Two beautiful lives that may not have been. I keep a plaque of the Miraculous Medal in their room, knowing that Mary will care for them and obtain blessings for them as she has done for me. 

Without the prayerful care of spiritual companions he never knew he had, Daniel may have wandered deeper into darkness. He may have never glimpsed the light of God’s love nor felt Mary’s constant protection — the saving graces he eventually embraced.

Please join us. You can choose from three easy ways to join: by automatic transfer from your bank account (preferred), credit card, or by sending a monthly check.

I thank you for your prayerful support for the ministry being carried out here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. In the coming year, may each of us come more fully into the light of God’s love shining through Our Blessed Mother, Queen of Heaven.

Sincerely and gratefully in Jesus,
