Recall Christ’s Passion as You Read Father Clay’s Letter

Mary’s presence along the way to Calvary assured her Son that she was there for him. It is a message for each of us, too –– especially in moments of hardship.

Read Father Clay’s reflection about Mary’s hands in his recent letter. Then, be sure to send your intentions for remembrance in our feast day Mass celebrating Mary, Mother of the Church. This Mass will be held Monday, June 9, at 12:10 p.m., CT, at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Before Mass, your petitions will be placed into the hands of a bronze statue of Our Lady on the Shrine grounds, as a sign of your prayerful appeal to Jesus, presented through Mary. They will then be carried to church and placed near Our Lady’s Shrine Altar for remembrance in the daily Mass throughout June.

You may also request a Votive Light to burn signifying your love and devotion to Mary.

Finally, AMM is highlighting two unique gifts you can request in return for a suggested offering.

The first is a six-inch, poly resin, bronze gold finish statue. The second gift is a Palm Cross, inlaid with a beautiful blue enamel Miraculous Medal. Both items have been blessed here at the National Shrine.

Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your Mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.    (John 19:27)
