ABOUT the Miraculous Medal
Front side:
- Mary stands on a globe, crushing a serpent beneath her feet. Describing the original vision, Catherine said the Blessed Mother appeared radiant as a sunrise, "in all her perfect beauty."
- Rays shoot out from Mary's hands, which she told Catherine, "symbolize the graces I shed upon those who ask for them." When asked why some of the gems did not shed light, Mary reportedly replied, "Those are the graces for which people forget to ask."
- Words from the vision form an oval frame around Mary: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."
Reverse side:
- A cross-and-bar surmounts a large, bold "M" - Mary as Mother, Mediatrix.
- Twelve stars disperse around the perimeter - 12 Apostles; also recall the vision of Saint John as experienced in Book of Revelation 12:1: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars"
- Two hearts are depicted underneath the "M", the left lapped with a crown of thorns, the right skewed by a sword. From each, a flame emanates from the top. Left Heart – The Sacred Heart of Jesus, who died for the sins of humankind. Right Heart – The Immaculate Heart of Mary, who intercedes for sinners. Flames around both hearts – The burning love Jesus and Mary have for all people.
