Thank you, dear sweet Mother!

Mary has always helped our family stay together.  We went through a difficult time around 13 years ago that lasted a few years.  Mary’s love and protection never left us.  Through her grace and intercession we are a close, loving family.  Thank you, dear sweet Mother.

Thank Our Lady for her protection!

I wanted to thank Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal for saving my dog and me from danger. My dog wears a Miraculous Medal on his collar. I carry mine in a bag around my waist. Today I was praying to Our Lady for protection from serpents. My dog and I walk at a very nice park with a paved trail, but it goes through swampland. There are alligators and numerous snakes that come up on the pavement. I had just finished praying for protection for my dog, Baxter, when I looked down, and there was a copperhead in the middle of our path! I do not see well. Usually, my dog sees the snakes first, but this time he did not. Thanks to Our Lady, I saw the copperhead. I want to thank Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal for her intercession in protecting us from this snake.

I’m forever thankful for her keeping my son safe!

I always have been protected when wearing the Miraculous Medal. I gave my son one to wear while he was deployed to the Middle East last year. I was so scared and worried about him being somewhere dangerous for one year. Part of his deployment was that he had to be sent from Kuwait to Syria, and he had to fly over Iraq. While flying over Iraq to get into Syria, the Iraqi people launched missiles at the plane that my son and many other soldiers were on, but the missiles missed. My son was wearing his Miraculous Medal! The military plane was able to land safely, and my son and the rest of the soldiers were able to retreat to a safe bunker until everything calmed down. Mother Mary always intercedes, and I’m forever thankful to her for keeping my son safe and bringing him home safely.

I stand here today as a live witness to Our Lady’s intercession!

I have prayed the Rosary daily for more than 25 years. The Blessed Mother has never failed me. I survived cancer twice. I survived a head-on car accident that pinned both my legs and was able to walk again with the help of titanium knees. I have survived a stroke. I stand here today as a live witness to the power and divine intercession of Our Most Blessed Lady.

The Miraculous Medal is special to me!

My Miraculous Medal story began two years ago. At that time, I had not yet returned to the Catholic Church. I was raised in a Catholic family, baptized, confirmed, and attended Catholic school. At some point in time, I lost my faith. This was due to a few reasons. I tried to keep up with my spirituality and attended Unitarian Universalist services from time to time. I was comfortable with this for a while, but eventually it wasn’t enough. Things changed two years ago, after the death of a man I had recently met. I didn’t know him well, but something that stuck in my mind was the religious medal he had always worn. I was uncertain what it was, and that bothered me.  I found out from his daughter that it was a Miraculous Medal.  I read all about this medal and immediately decided I needed one of my own. Apparently, God decided this too, because I started seeing these medals in thrift shops and soon had several different ones. I wear one every day now. Just a few days after that man’s death, my father ended up in the hospital after a serious heart attack and has been in a nursing home ever since. While very unfortunate, he feels blessed to be alive, and my family feels the same. Those two tragic events, both involving Catholics, were my pull to begin attending Mass again, and I’ve been attending regularly. I pray a daily Rosary and incorporate the Miraculous Medal prayer into each decade. The Miraculous Medal is special to me – it’s a comfort and a reminder of my faith, which seems wasn’t actually lost just misplaced.

Our Blessed Mother interceded for my safety!

About 25 years ago, I was traveling home on a black iced main road. The oncoming car literally spun around and ended up head on in my lane. I felt a strong force pull back my car, I avoided a very serious collision. Our Blessed Mother interceded for my safety. I love her with all my heart.

The Miraculous Medal means the world to me!

I work with patients, and there are times when I give the Miraculous Medal to those who I see need Mary. I carry the medal with me every day. Patients are so comforted by this that I can’t even explain. I have given them to coworkers and neighbors as well. The Miraculous Medal means the world to me, and I am asking for Mary’s intercession in a serious work issue now. God bless you.

Our Blessed Mother has never abandoned me!

In 2016, I withdrew from school because I could not afford tuition at the state university I was attending. I was devastated. I appreciated, for what seemed like the first time, the value of an education. I decided to apply to more prestigious universities as a transfer student in hopes of getting generous financial aid to cover the rest of my academic career. I knew it was a long shot because transfer students don’t usually get a lot of financial aid. They have to be incredibly exceptional to be considered for partial aid, least of all a full ride. I was not exceptional. I asked professors who barely knew me to write me letters of recommendation, spent weeks writing essays, and scrambled to pay the application fees. I was hopeful and prayed to Jesus, Our Lady, and Saint Gemma for a miracle. I knew nothing was impossible with God. Well, my prayers were answered in the unlikeliest of ways. I was denied by all three universities I wanted to transfer to, but I received news that one of the professors who wrote me a letter of recommendation was going to sponsor my education at the same university I’d withdrawn from. She covered my tuition until I graduated two years later. I know Our Lady interceded for me as it is extremely rare that a professor who barely knows a student is willing to pay for that student’s education. I am very, very thankful for all the help I’ve received from Our Mother Mary through the years. She’s never abandoned me and never will.

Thank you, Mary, for your intercession!

I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2016.  I have been taking a daily tamoxifen pill since then to prevent the cancer from returning.  Unfortunately, at one point, I started bleeding. I underwent several different medical procedures because a side effect of the tamoxifen is endometrial or uterine cancer. I was so scared, so I started wearing my Miraculous Medal rosary bracelet daily. Every time I looked at the bracelet, I prayed to Mary that I did not have any cancer cells in my body. All my biopsy reports were BENIGN, no cancer!! Thank you, Mary, for your intercession! Fast forward to 2024, I visited with my oncologist and want to share my good news with you.  I had a CT scan, and it all looked good. My doctor said I am doing great, and the cancer is still under control!  My medication is still working, thanks be to God.  Thank you to the Association of the Miraculous Medal for all your prayers you say on my behalf.  They are greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Mary, for your faithfulness and love.

I was praying the Miraculous Medal Novena for the intention of Our Lady’s intercession for my son and daughter-in-law.  They were looking for a house to purchase, and I prayed through her intercession that God would lead them to the house he wanted for them. Their bid was accepted on a house.  In the backyard garden was a statue of Our Blessed Mother!  Thank you, Mary, for your faithfulness and love.
