Place Your Needs in Mary’s Loving Hands

Mary desires to give you limitless graces obtained through her Son as she guides you along every step of your spiritual journey.

Today, you are invited to place your needs in Mary’s loving hands. This year, the feast of the Immaculate Conception will be observed on Monday, December 9. On that day, a Mass will be offered for you and your intentions at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal here in Perryville, Missouri.

Do you know about the beautiful bronze statue of Mary on the Shrine grounds? It shows Our Lady seated, just as she appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830. Mary told Catherine: “Come to the foot of the altar. Graces will be shed on all, great and little, especially upon those who ask for them.”

Your petitions will be literally placed into the hands of this statue as a symbol of your desire to take your needs to Jesus, through Mary. They will then be placed near the foot of her altar inside the Shrine Church for remembrance throughout the month of December.

You may also burn a Votive Light at the National Shrine – a visible sign of your love and devotion to Mary.

Finally, AMM is highlighting two unique gifts you can request in return for a suggested offering. The first is a six-inch poly resin bronze gold finish statue — a replica of the bronze statue I referred to above. The second gift is a Palm Cross, inlaid with a beautiful Miraculous Medal. Both items have been blessed here at the National Shrine. View and order hereRead Father Clay’s letter about putting your hands into the loving hands of Mary.
