Contrary to what many of us think, the Miraculous Medal has no power of its own. The belief that this religious medal can change your life is nothing more than vanity and pure credulity on your part. However, this medal is still a strong symbol for Christians, because it represents the time when the Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Catherine in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. During her second apparition, the Blessed Mother asked that this medal be made, as a source of grace, a pledge of protection and a testimony of love for those who wear it. A medal that was a great success from its first appearance on the market, during the cholera epidemic of 1832, which was the beginning of a long series of miracles. The attributes of the Miraculous Medal. When it comes to medals, we tend to associate them with medals in the shape of a circle, or even those that are personalized with the image of Christ. However, the Miraculous Medal breaks away from this tendency, opting instead for an oval shape, following the recommendations of the holy mother of Jesus. The Miraculous Medal: front view. On one side of this medal is a specific representation of the Virgin Mary on her feet, with her arms slightly detached from her body. Her hands are wide open and turned towards the earth, as a sign of openness and giving. However, the snake that she is crushing under her feet should not be overlooked. In addition to the image of the Holy Mother of the Church, this medal also features a dozen stars, referring to the rays of light when the Virgin appeared to Catherine. But there is also an engraving of 1830, which is none other than the year in which the Blessed Virgin made her three apparitions to Sister Catherine Labouré. And to crown it all, a prayer is also engraved in Latin, adorning the edges of the medal. A prayer that says: O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you. The Miraculous Medal: the reverse side. On the other side of the medal, the twelve stars are still present, but this time they run along the edges of the medal. Stars that seem to represent the 12 apostles and the 12 Israeli tribes. However, one can also find an “M”, intertwining a “T” bar representing the cross of Christ, thus relating the timeless strength of their links, knowing that the M is the diminutive of Mary. While the bar of the cross, tends to actualize the crucifixion, to remind everyone of the ordeal endured by Christ. However, we also see two different hearts, with a circled version and a pierced version. The heart encircled by a thorny crown is what we usually call the Sacred Heart, which is none other than the heart of Christ himself. The heart that Jesus showed to Margaret Mary Alacoque, as a testimony of his infinite love. And the pierced heart is Mary’s heart, representing the pain of a mother at the sight of her child’s suffering. This is why this heart is pierced with a sharp blow by a sword.
