Awakenings through the Holy Spirit... eye opening experience!

Always be prepared! The Holy Spirit is moving over the earth. Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart is reaching out to people to draw them closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

For the first time since I started wearing it as my only jewelry besides my wedding ring, someone asked about my necklace this morning. My hygienist at the dentist office commented on how pretty it is—my gold Miraculous Medal.

I jumped at the chance to give her a quick explanation of the symbolism of the medal and the Blessed Virgin Mary’s role in bringing souls closer to her son, Jesus Christ. She seemed enthused by it and said she was feeling drawn into religion, but, alas, I didn’t have my regular blessed medals to give her one.

Every morning I say Fr. Reehil’s permission prayer. This was one of those very clear graces as an opportunity to serve the Lord, and I pray the Lord continues to stir her heart to draw her closer to Christ!

Around the outside of the Miraculous Medal are the words "O, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee" - a simple prayer to recite in times of need.

Permission Prayer:

Lord, I give you permission today to use me in any way you desire, and I ask you to give me the grace to see your hand in action so I can give you all the glory.
