- The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of the Immaculate Conception, is a medal created by Saint Catherine Labouré following a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many Catholic Christians around the world (and some non-Catholics) wear the Miraculous Medal, which they believe will bring them special graces through the intercession of Mary if worn with faith and devotion. It is often worn together with the Brown Scapular. Saint Catherine Labouré stated that on the night of July 18, 1830 she awoke upon hearing a voice of a child calling her to the sisters' chapel (located in the Rue du Bac, Paris), where she heard the Blessed Virgin Mary say to her, “God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary. Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France and in the world. ” On November 27, 1830, Catherine reported that the Blessed Mother returned during evening meditations. She displayed herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe, wearing many rings of different colors, most of which shone rays of light over the globe. Around the margin of the frame appeared the words Ô Marie, conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous, in English O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. As Catherine watched, the frame seemed to rotate, showing a circle of twelve stars, a large letter M surmounted by a cross, and the stylized Sacred Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns and Immaculate Heart of Mary pierced with a sword. Asked why some of her rings did not shed light, Mary reportedly replied “Those are the graces for which people forget to ask. ” Catherine then heard Mary ask her to take these images to her father confessor, telling him that they should be put on medallions, and saying “All who wear them will receive great graces. ” Catherine did so, and after two years' of investigation and observation of Catherine's normal daily behavior, the priest took the information to his archbishop without revealing Catherine's identity. The request was approved and medallions began to be produced. Those who wore the medal felt that they had received great blessings, and the medal came to be referred to as the “Miraculous Medal. ” They proved to be popular and the medals spread worldwide. One of the most remarkable facts recorded in connection with the Miraculous Medal is the conversion of a Jew, Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne of Strasburg, who had resisted the appeals of a friend to enter the Church. Alphonse Ratisbonne consented, somewhat reluctantly, to wear the medal, and being in Rome, he entered, by chance, the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte and beheld in a vision the Blessed Virgin Mary exactly as she is represented on the medal; his conversion speedily followed. The chapel in which Saint Catherine experienced her visions is located at the mother house of the Daughters of Charity in Paris. The incorrupt bodies of Saint Catherine Labouré and Saint Louise de Marillac, a co-founder of the Daughters of Charity, are preserved in the chapel, which continues to receive daily visits from Catholic pilgrims today. Pope John Paul II used a slight variation of the reverse image as his coat of arms, the Marian Cross, a plain cross with an M underneath the right-hand bar (which signified the Blessed Virgin at the foot of the Cross when Jesus was being crucified).
- Die Wundertätige Medaille, eigentlich Wunderbare Medaille (médaille miraculeuse), ist eine ovale Medaille, die aufgrund einer Marienerscheinung der katholischen Ordensschwester Catherine Labouré entworfen wurde. Eine erste Erscheinung, mehr in Form einer Begegnung und Unterredung mit der Gottesmutter Maria, will Schwester Cathérine in der Nacht vom 18. auf den 19. Juli 1830 erlebt haben. Während zweier Erscheinungen am 27. November und im Dezember 1830 soll sie dann Maria innerhalb eines ovalen Rahmens auf der Erdkugel stehend und von den Worten „O Maria, ohne Sünde empfangen, bitte für uns, die wir unsere Zuflucht zu dir nehmen. “ umgebend gesehen haben. Dieses Motiv ist auf der Vorderseite der Medaille zu sehen. Außerdem berichtete Cathérine Labouré, den Buchstaben „M“ mit einem Kreuz darüber und dem Herzen Jesu und dem Herzen Marias darunter gesehen zu haben. Dieses Motiv ist auf der Rückseite der Medaille zu sehen. Maria soll aufgetragen haben, dass eine Medaille mit diesen Motiven geprägt wird und versprach, dass alle, die sie tragen, große Gnaden empfangen werden. Zunächst glaubte ihr Beichtvater Pater Aladel, mit dem sie als einzigen darüber sprechen sollte, nicht an die Echtheit der Erscheinung. Erst 1832, nachdem Schwester Cathérine hartnäckig darauf drängte, erwirkte Pater Aladel die bischöfliche Erlaubnis zum Prägen der Medaillen. Anekdotische Berichte diverser Heilungen, die mit der Medaille in Zusammenhang gebracht wurden, führten zu der Bezeichnung „Wundertätige Medaille“. Häufig wird eine Wundertätige Medaille am Rosenkranz befestigt.
- Medaglia miracolosa (o medaglia della Madonna delle grazie) è il nome che la tradizione devozionale cattolica ha dato alla medaglia coniata in séguito alla presunta apparizione della Madonna nel 1830, in Rue du Bac a Parigi, a santa Caterina Labouré, giovane religiosa nel convento parigino delle Figlie della Carità. Secondo la testimonianza della giovane, questa medaglia sarebbe stata coniata per ordine della Madonna come segno di amore, pegno di protezione e sorgente di grazie. La forma della medaglia è ovale. In una delle facce è raffigurata la Madonna con le braccia tese, mentre distribuisce ai fedeli grazie, rappresentate dalla luce che irradia; allo stesso tempo, col suo piede schiaccia la testa del serpente. L'immagine è incorniciata dall'invocazione: O Maria, concepita senza peccato, pregate per noi che ricorriamo a Voi. Sull'altra faccia figurano la lettera "M" (cioè "Maria") sormontata dalla Croce, e sotto i fiammeggianti sacri Cuori di Gesù e di Maria; quest'insieme è circondato da dodici stelle, come descritto nell'Apocalisse di San Giovanni. Si festeggia il 27 novembre.
- Nossa Senhora da Medalha Milagrosa é uma invocação especial pela qual é conhecida a Virgem Maria, também invocada com a mesma intenção sob o nome de Nossa Senhora das Graças e Nossa Senhora Medianeira de Todas as Graças.
