Mary's Message
Our Blessed Mother said to Catherine:


,,My child, the good God wishes to charge you with a mission. The times are evil. The whole world will be afflicted with miseries of every kind. But come to the foot of this altar. Here graces will be bestowed on all who ask with confidence and fervor. They will be given to the great and to the lowly"

Mary withdrew as she had come. And the young peasant gorl followed the child, whom she took to be her Guardian Angel, upstairs again; and here he left among her sleeping companions, who were not to know until near the end of her life that she had seen and touched and spoken to the high Queen of Heaven.
From that July night Catherine pondered and prayed. What was her mission to be ? When would Mary tell her ? Her toughts were long, long thoughts.

In the early evening of the 27th of November, while deep in meditation in the chapel, ahe again detected the sound like the rustling of a silk gown. Glancing up, she saw Our Lady on the right - hand side of the sanctuary. And the novice thus describle what she beheld:
,,Mary wore a robe that was colore of the dawn. Her head was covered with a white veil that fell on each side of Her feet. Her feet rested upon a globe. Her hands were raised about as high as Her waist, and she held in a graceful attitude another globe, a figure of the universe"

The Medal of the Immaculate Conception, generally known as the Miraculous Medal, comes to us directly from the Mother of God.
This explain why it wins extraordinary blessings and favors for those who wear it and pray to Mary Immaculate.
