THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
I will note that this is another medal I wear always with the Saint Benedict medal for personal protection through
intercession.
You may have received your medal free with another book purchase, which is already “blessed” by a priest, if this is not the
case, any priest will do. However, a ‘Marian priest’ is recommended. This is a priest who is of an order partial to the
Blessed Mother Mary, or the Priest may be one who has a personal devotion to her. Apart from a local hunt for a “Marian Priest”,
these priests can be found online, and through their ministry they often send out a free miraculous medal, and even rosaries.
