Miraculous Medal Prayer

The brief invocation comes from the words shown around the image of Our Lady in Saint Catherine Labouré's vision at the Rue du Bac in Paris in 1830. It became inseparable from the Miraculous Medal and is prayed whenever Catholics wear, receive, or venerate the medal. The longer act of consecration is commonly promoted by the Association of the Miraculous Medal. It entrusts the faithful to Mary Immaculate, asks for her maternal protection, and seeks perseverance in the grace of Christ. Catholics may pray both forms daily, especially after receiving the medal or during a Miraculous Medal novena.

Invocation: O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Act of Consecration: O Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we dedicate and consecrate ourselves to you under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. May this Medal be for each one of us a sure sign of your affection for us and a constant reminder of our duties toward you. Ever while wearing it, may we be blessed by your loving protection and preserved in the grace of your Son. O most powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep us close to you every moment of our lives. Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy death; so that, in union with you, we may enjoy the bliss of heaven forever. Amen.

In Latin

Ô Marie conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours à vous.

When to pray it: Pray this invocation daily while wearing the Miraculous Medal, and use the longer prayer when consecrating yourself to Our Lady under this title.
