The conclusion of our Christmas Novena is at hand. It is our prayer that you have “made room” not only in your home, but in your heart, to welcome the Christ Child. 

From all of us here at AMM and the Vincentian priests and brothers serving Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, we extend our greetings to you and your family of a holy and blessed Christmas. May you and your loved ones be blessed with good health, great hope, much happiness, and the spirit of love lived out by the Holy Family. Here is our Christmas prayer for you. 

… following the footsteps of fellow AMM members and friends as they travel the same roads and riverbanks where Mary accompanied Jesus throughout his earthly life. 

From November 4-14, Father Kevin McCracken, C.M., Spiritual Director of the Association of the Miraculous Medal, will lead a pilgrimage through the Holy Land where he will offer daily Mass, and remember in prayer the petitions received from AMM members. You are invited to send your prayer intentions  for remembrance throughout this spiritual journey. AMM is offering a sacramental to represent your presence along this journey. It is a beautiful Olive Wood Palm Cross, in which a blue enamel Miraculous Medal is inset. Your Palm Cross will be carried with us to the Holy Land, where it will be blessed and then mailed to you the week of November 21, following our return. 

Read Father Kevin’s letter to learn more. Follow our itinerary, and recite the prayer to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal each day of the journey. Watch Facebook, Twitter, and AMM’s website homepage for daily updates throughout the pilgrimage.

Making the sign of the cross with holy water recalls your Baptism, the joyous moment of your entrance into the Christian family. Blessing yourself daily is a powerful sign of faith. The use of holy water in your home is suggested to encourage a deeper spirit of prayerfulness among your family. Request your commemorative bottle filled with 4 ounces of holy water blessed here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, Missouri. The suggested offering of $8 per bottle includes shipping and handling.

This sacramental makes a wonderful gift for loved ones, and your offering furthers AMM’s mission to draw souls closer to Jesus through devotion to Mary, especially under her title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
