A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with
the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Many Bible scholars understand Revelation 12:1 as referring to Our Lady. The crown of stars symbolizes that she is a Queen. Being clothed with the sun is often understood as God’s gift of grace covering the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her very being is overshadowed by divine power, grace, truth, and the Light of Life, Jesus, himself.
As a member of the Association of the Miraculous Medal, you have a special appreciation for Mary’s role as our spiritual mother and advocate. THANK YOU for your support of AMM, which helps us draw more people into Our Lady’s protection through Mary’s gift of the Miraculous Medal.
Today, I invite you to join AMM’s devoted supporters who belong to our Twelve Stars of Mary Monthly Giving Club. Members of the monthly giving club generously provide year-round gifts so that AMM’s ministry might reach more people with one of the greatest signs of God’s love, Mary, our Most Holy Mother, Queen of Heaven and Earth.
We gratefully accept a pledge of any amount. If you commit to a monthly offering of $20 or more, you will receive several thank-you gifts. These include a blessed sterling silver Miraculous Medal on a stainless steel chain, a laminated prayer card, and an inspiring soft-covered volume of Marian devotions.
As a Twelve Stars of Mary member, your generosity will help more souls turn to Our Lady in their need and receive the graces she promised … like these AMM members:
Some time ago, my house burned down because of a candle I forgot to blow out. My mother and I were able to get out of the house unharmed. Two weeks earlier, I bought a statue of Our Lady. My mother and I prayed the Rosary every night in front of the statue. I feel sure Our Blessed Mother interceded to save our lives.
I visited the Miraculous Medal Shrine in Paris. I was a man of little faith at the time, but that has changed. My prayer that day was for a job; I had been unemployed for some time. Returning home, there was a voicemail on my phone about a job interview. I got the job the next day! Thank you, Blessed Virgin, for hearing my prayers.
My husband was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors prescribed an expensive drug to strengthen his bones, but there was no way we could afford the cost. My husband and I prayed a Rosary and asked Mary for her intercession. Shortly after, we received a call from the doctor’s office. They’d found an organization that would pay for this drug for one year. Now that’s a miracle!
Wearers of the Miraculous Medal also secure blessings for the whole world as the image of Mary on the front of the medal shows her with her foot on the head of Satan. Help us continue to spread devotion to Mary, through the merits of the Miraculous Medal.
You can choose from three easy ways to join the Twelve Stars Club: by credit card, an automatic transfer from your bank, or by a monthly check.
I thank you for your prayerful support of the ministry being carried out here at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. May God bless you for your efforts to serve him, and may he draw all of us ever closer to himself.
Sincerely and gratefully in Jesus,
Fr. Clayton Kilburn, C.M.
Spiritual Director
