The Miraculous Medal and Saint Catherine Labouré

VI. Sister Catherine Labouré Meets the Blessed Virgin Mary

The nineteenth of July was the feast of Saint Vincent de Paul. On Sunday, July 18, 1830, vigil of the feast, Mother Marthe, directress of the novices, gave an inspiring conference on Saint Vin- cent’s devotion to the Blessed Mother. As Sister Catherine went to bed after the talk, she thought that she would see the Blessed Virgin Mary during the nighttime hours. *

At 11:30 p.m., Sister Catherine awoke to the voice of someone calling her. She saw “a child dressed in white, about four or ﬁve years old, who said … ‘Get up promptly and come to the chapel. The Blessed Virgin is waiting for you.’” The child assured her that everyone else in the house was asleep and that no one would hear. Catherine dressed in her religious habit and followed the child. To her surprise, the lights were lit in the passages where the two of them walked and the door of the chapel opened to the touch of the child’s hand. Candles were ablaze in the chapel. The child led her into the sanctuary and next to a chair reserved for the priest director. Catherine looked around to see if any sisters on night duty were passing through the gallery, but there was no one. On a wall of the sanctuary was a painting of Saint Anne seated in a chair as she taught her young daughter, the Virgin Mary, how to read.

After a while, the child said to Catherine, “Here is the Blessed Virgin.” Catherine heard the rustle of a silk dress as a Lady appeared near the altar, walked down the steps, and seated herself in a chair. Looking at the painting on the wall and then at the Lady, Catherine thought that the Lady was Saint Anne. But the child said again, “Here is the Blessed Virgin.” The Lady was looking at Catherine, but Catherine still did not fully grasp that the Lady was the Virgin Mary. The child said a third time, now with the deep voice of a man, “Here is the Blessed Virgin.” At once, Catherine went to kneel before the Blessed Mother and placed her hands on Mary’s knees.

Mary told Catherine that the Lord wanted to entrust her with a mission and that Catherine would suffer much for the glory of God. She instructed Catherine to reveal everything to her confessor “with conﬁdence and simplicity.” With tears in her eyes, the Blessed Virgin spoke about misfortunes that would afﬂict France, including the overthrow of the King and the ruthless killing of the Archbishop of Paris. Catherine understood that the Archbishop would be put to death forty years hence, that is, around 1870. In fact, two kings would lose the throne: Charles X in late July 1830 and Louis-Philippe in 1848. Two archbishops would die violently: Archbishop Denis Auguste Affre in the revolution of 1848 and Archbishop Georges Darboy in the Paris Commune revolt of 1871.

The Blessed Virgin went on to say that the two communities—the Vincentian Fathers and the Sisters of Charity—would enjoy God’s protection throughout these trials. The Virgin pointed to the foot of the altar as the place from which graces would be poured out on those who ask them “with conﬁdence and fervor.” The Blessed Mother afﬁrmed her love for the community and asked Catherine to tell her confessor that She desired more strict observance of the Rule. Mary foretold that another community would join itself to the Sisters of Charity. In 1850, two communities—the Sisters of Charity founded by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and the Sisters of Charity of Austria founded by Léopoldine de Brandis—joined the Vincentian family of religious orders. Mary also said that Catherine’s confessor would be the founder of a new Association of the Children of Mary.

The Blessed Virgin departed. Catherine looked at the child, who said simply, “She has gone.” When they returned to the dormitory, the child disappeared. Catherine believed that the child was her guardian angel. As she got back into her bed, Catherine heard the clock strike. It was 2:00 a.m. She and the Virgin Mary had conversed for two hours!

Catherine related to her confessor, Father Aladel, all that the Virgin had told her in the vision. Father Aladel thought that Catherine was suffering from illusion and an overactive imagination. Just a few days later, the revolution of July 27 to July 30 resulted in bloodshed, religious persecution, and the overthrow of King Charles X. Father Aladel recalled all that Cath- erine said and he began to wonder. In obedience to her confessor, Sister Catherine was faithful to the community life of the novices. Before discussing the Miraculous Medal, which was to be the mission that the Virgin entrusted to Catherine on November 27, we will examine daily life in the seminary.

The Letter to the Ephesians reminds us that Christ is creating a new world order: one that brings about re- lationships based on love, peace, reconciliation, hope and unity. As a Eucharistic community, we are stew- ards of Christ’s new creation. How are we promoting peace and reconciliation? How are we showing love for our neighbors? What are we doing to encourage unity and understanding among those with whom we gather around the Lord’s Table each week?

Pope Francis has granted participants of Fête-Dieu du Teche a Plenary Indulgence. The indulgence is valid on August 15 for those who attend the 8 am French Mass in Leonville, those who make the procession by boat, and those who partici- pate in the devotions at one of the many stops along the Teche. Those who are impeded for a serious reason from physically attending the procession may also gain the indulgence by spiritually uniting their prayers and trials. The Holy Fa- ther asks participants to pray for ﬁdelity to the Christian vocation, for the good of the family, and for priestly and religious vocations. This grant is under the normal conditions which means that the faithful must have the intention to gain the indulgence, perform one of the indulgenced acts as given above, be in the state of grace at the time of the event, have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance within 20 days, receive Holy Communion, pray for the Holy Fa- ther’s intentions, and be free from all attachment to sin, mortal and venial. To help facilitate the gaining of the indulgence, confessions will be available at all stops in Mobile Units along the Procession.

The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue which has been traveling globally since 1947 is coming to Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church on Friday, August 6th. It was sculpted in 1947 by the famous Portuguese artist Jose Ferreira Thedim (1892-1971) to reflect the precise instructions of Sister Lucia. The sculpture’s image is based off of Our Lady’s position when she revealed herself as the Immaculate Heart of the Shepherds in 1917. Prior to its first pilgrimage of May 13, 1947, Pope Pius XII blessed the statue. The pilgrimage was made to celebrate and commemorate the 30th anniversary of the apparition of the Blessed Mother. In the spring of 1947, the statue toured for the first time in Eu- rope. After this tour, it was retired and put on display at the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal, where it still resides today. On October 13, 1947, a “twin” statue was blessed by the Bishop of Liera, Fatima, and commissioned to serve as the Pilgrim Virgin, tour- ing and bringing the blessings of Fatima to the world. After the blessing in October, John Haffert, co-founder of The Blue Army, was entrusted to bring the statue to the United States with the Bishop’s prayer that Mary herself accompany the statue wherever it goes. With the counsel and aid of Sister Lucia, Haffert composed the Blue Army Pledge, and went on to spread the Message of Fatima worldwide, largely through the Pilgrim Virgin Statue tours. In 1950, the first U.S tour of the statue took place, covering more than 50 dioceses in the United States. On October 24, 1952, Pope Pius XII blessed the statue and imparted a special blessing on the work of the Fatima Pilgrim Tours. The statue has since visited more than 100 countries, including Russia and China, with numerous miracles and graces reported wherever the statue has visited. The purpose of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue tours is to bring the graces of Fatima and Our Lady’s message of hope, peace and salvation to the millions of people who may never have an opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Fatima itself.
