Lent Begins Wednesday

Behold, now is the day of salvation.

Ash Wednesday is February 14 — a time to turn back to the source of love in our lives. Throughout the holy season of Lent, let us pray through Mary to attain a closer union with God, who is all-merciful and all-loving. AMM offers a variety of ways to assist you during your Lenten journey:

·       Send your special intentions to be placed near Mary’s Shrine Altar

·       Request a Votive Light to burn

·       Pray this Ash Wednesday prayer

·       Pray this prayer for Lent each day

·       Request Easter cards to send to loved ones

Together, let us ask Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal to bring us into ever greater union with her Son, Jesus, who saves us through his holy passion, death, and resurrection. “Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me.” Psalm 51:3-4
