The Miraculous Medal (27 November): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

In this episode of The Lives of the Saints, Father Alban Butler recounts the powerful story behind the Miraculous Medal, revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830. Discover the heavenly apparitions, the meaning of the symbols on the medal, the canonical investigations, and how the Miraculous Medal became a worldwide sign of grace, conversion, healing, and devotion to the Immaculate Conception. Learn how the Blessed Mother appeared standing on a globe, rays flowing from her hands, surrounded by the words: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” We also explore how this devotion influenced the Church, contributed to the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and became a spiritual weapon widely used by the faithful — and the official insignia of the Daughters of Charity and the Priests of the Mission. Perfect for: • Catholic devotion and apologetics • Lovers of Church history • Marian theology • Those seeking to understand the power of sacramentals • Anyone devoted to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal 🙏 O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. 00:00 – Introduction 00:20 – Butler: November 27 – The Miraculous Medal 00:23 – The Catholic world learns of the apparitions 00:36 – Origin and spread of the Miraculous Medal devotion 01:00 – St. Catherine Labouré enters the convent (1830) 01:07 – Visions of the Blessed Virgin begin 01:14 – Description of Our Lady’s apparition 01:22 – “O Mary conceived without sin…” – The heavenly message 01:27 – The reverse of the medal: the M, the Cross, and the Two Hearts 01:40 – Catherine is instructed to have the medal minted 01:47 – Confessor reports visions to ecclesiastical authorities 01:55 – Canonical investigation by the Archbishop of Paris 02:06 – Early circulation of the medal among the faithful 02:17 – Publication of Origin and Effects of the Miraculous Medal 02:24 – Miraculous conversions and healings 02:32 – Medal becomes officially known as “The Miraculous Medal” 02:37 – The role of the devotion in the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception 02:46 – Establishment of its own liturgical feast 02:50 – Adoption as insignia of the Daughters of Mary 03:00 – Recap of Catherine’s visions 03:26 – Description of the medal’s symbols (repeated section) 03:48 – Confessor and Church authorities confirm authenticity 04:10 – Miracles and rapidly spreading devotion 04:33 – Worldwide adoption and recognition by the Church 04:54 – Legacy of the Miraculous Medal devotion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/november/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
