She rose and followed it to the chapel — and found it blazing as if for midnight Mass, every candle lit, the altar radiant. A woman in white appeared and sat in the director’s chair. Catherine knelt beside her and rested her hands in the woman’s lap as naturally as a child with her mother. They spoke for two hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe woman was Mary, the Mother of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShe came again in November, this time appearing within an oval of light, wearing rings that shot rays of light onto the earth below her. Around the oval were the words: \u003cem\u003eO Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.\u003c\/em\u003e Then the oval turned and Catherine saw the back — the letter M surmounted by a cross, two hearts below it, twelve stars encircling everything. The M for Mary. The cross for the sacrifice of Christ. The two hearts — the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, united. The twelve stars for the apostles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHave this medal struck,\u003c\/em\u003e Mary said. \u003cem\u003eAll who wear it will receive great graces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCatherine told no one except her confessor for forty-six years. The medal was struck in 1832. Within two years millions were being worn across France and beyond. Miraculous cures were reported. Conversions followed. The medal earned its name from the people who wore it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCatherine Labouré died in 1876, her identity as the visionary unknown to almost everyone around her. She was canonized in 1947.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis version of the Miraculous Medal carries that same sacred story in a different light — warm 18kt gold plated over sterling silver, with a deep black enameled border that makes the gold glow with extraordinary richness. Mary’s image at the center, her prayer encircling it, the full Miraculous symbol on the back exactly as Catherine saw it in her vision. Where the silver medal is cool and luminous, this one is warm and radiant — gold catching the light the way candlelight does in a chapel at midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Miraculous Medal is worn today as it has always been worn — as an act of trust, a request for grace, a small and tangible reminder that something larger is watching over us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eO Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e18kt gold plated over .925 sterling silver oval Miraculous Medal, polished and satin finish, 15\/16\" x 9\/16\".
