J.M.J. Although not on the General Roman Calendar, the Feast of Saint Catherine Laboure', Virgin (1806-1876) is observed today in some places. She received the well-known image of the Miraculous Medal from Our Blessed Lady and then was instrumental in having a medal struck.
The front and the reverse of the Miraculous Medal are their own meditations! Who cannot benefit from reflecting on the role of Mary as the Mediatrix of All Graces, who was conceived without Original Sin, whose Immaculate Heart is paired with her Divine Son's Sacred Heart and who is now crowned in Heaven near her same Son Who died for us on Calvary?
V. Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces. R. Pray for us.
V. Saint Catherine Laboure'. R. Pray for us.
