This year, the first Sunday of Advent coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. In our community of Brzezie, after praying the novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, we celebrated the commemoration of Our Lady’s apparitions to St Catherine Laboure. We made sure to have medallions to give to the faithful who came to our chapel after morning Mass.
It is worth remembering and reminding ourselves and perhaps even informing and telling others of Our Lady’s assurance that “those who wear it with confidence, will receive many graces. ”
27 November, the commemoration of Mary revealing the Miraculous Medal, is the best opportunity to do so.
