This nine-day dedication of prayer leads up to the June 12 Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the June 13 Memorial Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

You are invited to place your novena intentions for remembrance in prayer at Mary’s Altar inside the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. You may also burn a Votive Light as a sign of your spiritual presence with us throughout the novena and feast days.

It is our hope that whoever you are praying for—yourself or someone else—will experience hope and peace from Our Lady’s heart to their own, as this Illinois member sought and found:

Dear Father, I am writing this letter in thanksgiving to Our Blessed Mother and her divine Son, Jesus, for answering my prayer and for the miracles for my family and myself. Over the past five years, we have suffered … just about every evil that could come against one family. I began praying to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, and I gave each family member a Miraculous Medal to wear. I cannot begin to tell you how Mother Mary is working through prayer for us … My son has been completely healed from all drug and alcohol addictions. Healings of spirit, body, emotions, and finances are happening constantly. Only prayer could have brought this about … For anyone who is about to give up, I want to say, keep on praying to Our Blessed Lady because your miracle is just around the next prayer.

We invite you to join us in praying the Miraculous Medal Novena Prayer, June 3 – 11.
