In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it.
True devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary consists in three things: VENERATION, CONFIDENCE AND LOVE. By simply wearing the Scapular, we can tell her every moment of the day that we venerate her, love her and trust in her protection.
As Our Lord taught us to say the Our Father, Our Blessed Mother taught us the value of the scapular. When we use it as a prayer, Our Lady draws us to the Sacred Heart of Her Divine Son. It is good, therefore, to hold the scapular in the hand. A prayer offered while holding the Scapular is as perfect as a prayer can be. It is especially in time of temptation that we need the powerful intercession of God’s Mother. The evil spirit is utterly powerless when the wearer of a scapular faces temptation, calling upon the Holy Virgin in this silent devotion. “If you had recommended yourself to me, you would not have run into such danger,” was Our Lady’s gentle reproach to Blessed Alan de la Roche, one of her devoted servants.

Oh my... what a beauty!
I have seen a lot of beautiful Sacramentals at the many Catholic Shrines I have been blessed to visit, but nothing can even come close to the Italian Ghirelli craftsmanship, beauty and quality of materials of this Confraternity Locket Rosary.
The uniqueness of the locket, Our Lady of Intercessors logo, the Crucifix, the precision carving on the Our Father beads, Our Lady of the Cape figure and the smooth tender touch of the mother of pearl Hail Mary beads are outstanding. It feels like the love of Our Blessed Mother comes through each bead. As well the enclosed Relic card with a piece of the blue blessed cloth which touched Our Lady of the Cape original Statue and many holy relics along with the blessed rose piece and the St. Michael cave stone is a one of a kind Sacramental. A Rosary like no other. I am so blessed to have received one. - Linda Robillard

On November 27th, 2020, the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, the MDM and Fr. Lance Harlow with the Intercessor Family launched and released the eBook version of The Echo of God. The physical perpetual calendars immediately sold out and so the MDM is making available a digital version. View the video below to view the launch event and learn more about The Echo of God. Fr. Harlow incorporates into his life the True Devotion Perpetual Calendar since it's release in 2009.
Father Lance Harlow, rector of St. Joseph Co-Cathedral and Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception parishes in Burlington has authored a definitive commentary on St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary.
The Echo of God incorporates Fr. Frederick William Faber’s 19th Century translation of St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion. Father Faber remarks that the mystery of true devotion to Jesus through Mary continues to reveal itself even after repeated readings and much study of St. Louis’ work. He states in the preface to his 1862 translation that:
I have translated the whole treatise myself, and have taken great pains with it, and have been scrupulously faithful. At the same time, I would venture to warn the reader that one perusal will be very far from making him master of it. If I may dare to say so, there is a growing feeling of something inspired and supernatural about it, as we go on studying it; and with that we cannot help experiencing, after repeated readings of it, that its novelty never seems to wear off, nor its fullness to be diminished, nor the fresh fragrance and sensible fire of its unction ever to abate.
This book will probably never leave your nightstand or wherever you keep your most precious spiritual resources at hand!

This larger Miraculous medal is great to have in your home, office, purse, car and to pray for others.
"Anyone who gives a medal, a holy picture or book to another person, has done no more than to inspire a thought for GOD...for many souls are saved in this way, many preserved from error and encouraged in goodness."
Witness to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, originally known as the medal of the Immaculate Conception. Can be worn or held while praying ... "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."
Below is a picture of a relic of St. Bernadette. Mary said to her at Lourdes, "I am the Immaculate Conception." St. Bernadette, pray for us.
The Saint of Calcutta knew the importance of having Mary as Our Mother. She would often pray with the sick while holding this medal as well as press it against the person who was sick showing the importance of acknowledging Mary as Mother. Mother Teresa often would ask the sick person, "Where does it hurt?" and then she would gently press the medal on that spot. "Let Our Lady kiss where it hurts," she would be heard to say.
The Miraculous Medal for St. Teresa of Calcutta was a medal of charity – a symbol of God’s love for all people, most especially the every now moment of our lives." Tom Perna
If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon Our Lady. Just say this simple prayer, “Mary, mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.” I must admit, this prayer has never failed me. – Mother Teresa
Express Novena: Hold the Miraculous Medal for yourself or for others in need...asking for the intercession of St.Teresa of Calcutta...
Say ten times, nine for a petition and one for thanksgiving...
The Memorare Prayer
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help , or sought your intercession was left unaided, Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, Oh Virgin of Virgins, my mother; to you do I come, before I stand , sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer me. Amen
TESTIMONY
What a surprise! Your package arrived and I got it as I was leaving for Mass.
our Blessed Mother didn’t waste a minute! After Mass, I was introduced to a lovely family we had been praying for, especially for Ethan who was very seriously ill. I asked the priest if he would go and bless him. Then as I was speaking to someone else, I sensed a prompting to open the box to see if the Miraculous Medal was there. So I took it and went back to Ethan and his sister and mother who all held it and prayed as also prayed for Our Lady’s intercession for Ethan’s total healing.
They drove in for the Mass being celebrated for their deceased relative and heading back to Ontario tomorrow. What a blessing for me too.
So it arrived at just the right moment. I will let you know if he is totally healed.
God bless you!! And Our Lady of the Cape blanket is so absolutely beautiful!!!
