Prayers for Healing Graces

We honor and praise Mary under many titles.  Our Lady, Health of the Sick, is one of them.  We use it when we wish to ask for her healing touch. Come to the foot of our Lady’s Altar and pray, asking the Blessed Mother to shower healing graces on those who are suffering.

A Promise of Graces

Our Lady promised many graces to those who came to the foot of her altar and prayed in confidence.  We will celebrate our novena of Masses dedicated to Our Mother of Divine Grace starting on June 12.  Please join us for the entire nine days of our novena as we pray, asking our Lady to provide the graces we seek.

Our Annual May Procession

On Sunday, May 6, 2012, at 3:30 p.m. (Central Time) hundreds of people gathered in front of the Shrine Church and prayerfully processed to the "Miraculous Medal Grotto" to pay tribute to the Blessed Mother. During the procession, all joined in praying the rosary and singing traditional Marian hymns. The First Communicants of the local parish carried roses, and the Confirmation class carried boxes filled with thousands of petitions to place at Mary's feet.

May Newsletter - Mary's Month

Our May issue of the Miraculous Medal Newsletter is dedicated to Mary’s Month.  On the first Sunday of May we honor the Blessed Mother at our annual May Procession.  We process in song and prayer from the Shrine Church to the Miraculous Medal Grotto.  The following Sunday, Mother’s Day, we honor other women in our lives.

In this issue, we also feature a special donor highlight of two friends of our Lady’s Association.  I know you will enjoy reading about these two wonderful supporters of the Association.

We have many beautiful devotional items in our online Gift Shop for celebrations that often occur in the spring—First Communion, Confirmation, graduations, and weddings, just to name a few. Take some time to browse our online Gift Shop for a unique religious gift for these or other special occasions.
