“Veni Sanctus Spiritus!” Come Holy Spirit!

AUTHOR

Andrew Hayden »

The Association of the Miraculous Medal will begin its annual Pentecost Novena of Masses here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal this Friday, May 14. Please join your AMM family in prayer, adding your intentions alongside theirs. The petitions you share will be entrusted to Our Lady and rest before her Shrine Altar through the Solemnity of Pentecost on May 23. During the novena, say this prayer to the Holy Spirit. You may also request a Votive Light to burn as a visible sign of your loving, prayerful support shining in the lives of those for whom you’re praying.

AMM carries a special gift depicting the Holy Spirit’s advocacy in our lives. The Holy Spirit Silver Cruciform Medal & Chain features an antique silver finish with red enamel accentuating the distinctive Dove centerpiece. Flanked by images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Miraculous Medal, Saint Joseph, and Saint Christopher, this five-way medal also appeals for assistance with: "I am a Catholic – please call a priest" appearing on the reverse. “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.”

As Pope Francis has counseled, “By loving humbly, serving freely and joyfully, we will offer to the world the true image of God. The Spirit reminds us that we ... grow by giving.”

Thank you for the prayerful support you extend to loved ones through your membership in Mary’s Association. May Our Lady obtain for you, and them, a generous share in the gifts of the Spirit to draw you ever closer to her Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

AUTHOR

Andrew Hayden »

Asking Mary’s intercession for a loved one’s physical or spiritual healing is one of the most comforting gifts you could offer. Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, has promised to obtain blessings for all who approach her in faith. Request your complimentary Miraculous Medal Healing Remembrance Card to send as a gift of comfort and prayer-filled hope to someone who is suffering in body, mind, or spirit. If you send AMM their name, your recipient will be remembered in Masses and prayers here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri. You can also request to burn a Votive Light in their name, symbolizing your prayers for healing. Read more about Mary’s intercession for us and God’s grace in Fr. Kevin’s letter.

Are You Looking Forward to the Return of May Procession? We Are, Too!

AUTHOR

Andrew Hayden »

Read Fr. Kevin’s letter about this tentatively scheduled “live and in person” Procession scheduled for Sunday, May 2, at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri.

Please pray for its success and join us in spirit, if not in person. Making an offering is another way you can play an important part in the work of the Association of the Miraculous Medal. Your spring gift will help bring Mary to the world and — through her — bring the world to Jesus! Your support also assists Vincentian priests and brothers in their ministries of prayer and service. Thank you for your generous membership in our AMM family.

Our Lourdes Octave of Masses Begins Thursday, February 11

AUTHOR

Andrew Hayden »

Do you have family members and friends who are in great need of healing?

Share your personal petitions for remembrance throughout AMM’s Our Lady of Lourdes Octave of Masses. We will place your requests near Mary’s National Shrine Altar. From February 11-18. Pray this daily prayer and request a Votive Light to symbolize your presence here at the Shrine. Mary asks us to turn to her with faith and in confident trust. Through her powerful intercession, she will obtain all that we need. Father Kevin writes about Saint Bernadette’s apparitions and the miraculous healing in Lourdes, France, of a young boy cured of complete blindness and paralysis in 1938.

“O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.”

AUTHOR

Andrew Hayden »

We hope you’ll take a moment now to enjoy the Association’s Spring Bulletin newsletter. We’ll be celebrating family life and sharing stories of earthly and spiritual families. Father Kevin shares a look back on his early years with family, growing up in California. Father Ron offers some very practical ways families can observe Lent together in prayer—thus growing closer to one another through that. Don’t miss Don Fulford’s reflection on one elderly couple’s enduring love. And there’s a special invitation to your family to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal here in Perryville – for our annual May Procession, or anytime!

At AMM, it is our mission and our promise to do all we can to support you and your family through prayer along your spiritual journey. We hope the Spring Bulletin inspires your Lent!

The Association of the Miraculous Medal devotes itself to accompanying members along their daily spiritual journey. We also spread devotion to Mary with people around the world by sharing the Miraculous Medal she entrusted to Saint Catherine Labouré 190 years ago. Throughout 2021, we hope you will allow us to join you in praying for your special intentions. You may always request a Votive Light of praise and gratitude, or in an appeal for ongoing needs in your life. Should you wish to receive a free, blessed Miraculous Medal and story card. We will be happy to fulfill your request and send them at any time.

In support of our AMM ministry and for the suggested offering of $5.00 each, you may request an Epoxy Miraculous Medal.

Our Lady keeps you in her heart, every moment of every day. Placing yourself in hers will bring you nearer to God. Know that you and your intentions remain in our daily prayers. We look forward to hearing from you.
