When a friend or relative is grieving the loss of a loved one or the anniversary of a death is drawing near, your kindness can be of great comfort. Share the consoling gift of prayer by sending this beautiful Memorial Remembrance Card to the bereaved. It offers the deceased loved one a remembrance in the daily Mass and prayers at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal for one year.  

You may also burn a Votive Light inside the Shrine’s beautiful Votive Light Sanctuary for your departed loved ones.  

Read Fr. Kevin’s letter here. It shares more about how the Memorial Remembrance Card can bring hope to someone in their time of need.  

Recently we heard from an AMM member who received condolences from Fr. Kevin: “I was deeply touched that you remembered my husband and prayed for him, and for me, on the anniversary of his death. When I received your card, my spirit was lifted up to God, and I thanked him for all the years we had together.”

Do you know someone who is suffering from the loss of a loved one? I invite you to share the gift of Mary’s loving consolation by requesting our beautiful Memorial Remembrance Card. We’ll mail you the card for you to send to the person in need. And if you send me the name of the deceased, he or she will be remembered in the prayers and daily Mass being offered daily at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal throughout the year. Just as our Lady comforted nine-year-old Saint Catherine Labouré following her mother’s death, so she will bring peace of heart to all who look upon her image in their sorrow. Fr. Kevin’s letter shares more about this touching story from Catherine’s life. You will also have the opportunity to burn a Votive Light for the peaceful repose of the soul of the loved one who has passed on – a wonderful symbol of your faith-filled compassion and another gift of love.

I want to help you share God’s love and Mary’s motherly compassion with someone in need. More specifically, I’m certain there is someone in your life who has recently lost a loved one. I invite you to use our new Memorial Remembrance Card, and to send me the name of the deceased person so that he or she can be remembered in the prayers and daily Mass here at the Shrine for one year. Mary’s image on the card inspires us to realize that she stands by us in our sorrow just as she stood by Jesus as he died for us on the cross. You might also want to burn a Votive Light for your deceased loved one. Read more in Fr. Kevin’s letter about the love and comfort Jesus and his Blessed Mother have for us.
