A Votive Light at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal represents your spiritual presence near Mary’s Altar. It represents your prayerful petition for her intercession, and your thanksgiving for favors received. As with other sacramentals, a Votive Light is an ordinary object. But when used in conjunction with prayer and faith, the object brings grace into our lives, as well as bringing graces into the lives of those for whom we pray.

Please remember these special intentions at Mass each day of the pilgrimage to France. I understand that my intentions will also be included in the daily Mass and prayers at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal here in Perryville.
