We Christians have all prayed for the intercession of the Blessed Mary. We pray the "Hail Mary" to honor the Mother of Christ. Our prayers are heard. We were healed. We are blessed, and we live by Mary's promises.
For our family, we celebrate the 41st year of this annual devotion. It started in November 1978, when my parents initiated it in their early marriage.
Since then, the blessings granted through our devotion to Mother Mary and the Miraculous Medal have not just touched, but profoundly transformed our lives, filling us with awe and inspiration.
As a child growing up in the '80s, I was part of a vibrant community that shared a yearly devotion to the Miraculous Medal. Our relatives, mostly the elderly, would lead the Novena and the singing of praises. The songs and hymns, resonating through the air, strengthened our prayers and our bond as a community, making us feel part of a larger spiritual family.
Our unwavering belief in the power of prayers and intentions is that God is within us and hears us, and this belief is the key to granting our heart's desires.
Ask—Believe -Receive is a philosophy I have believed in for years, and it has been the foundation of our call for the Miraculous Medal. We ask for our intentions, which are granted. Then, we receive miracles, healings, and blessings.
Our devotion to the Miraculous Medal is not just a celebration of the past, but a promise of future celebrations. We eagerly look forward to witnessing the next generations of our family continue this tradition, passing on our devotion to the blessed Mary, instilling a sense of hope and connection to the future.
