The Children's Rosary novena to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal ended today, November 26. This is the eve of the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. One of the intentions of that novena was that the Children's Rosary could put more Miraculous Medals in the hands of children. We recently received two boxes with beautiful rosaries and Miraculous Medals attached. Today with a new Children's Rosary group beginning at St. Peter Claver Church in West Hartford, Connecticut, we gather some rosaries to bring for the children. We noticed the miraculous medals attached and took those for the children to use.
Saying the last prayer of the novena tonight, I realized how this new group was a fulfillment of the prayer intention on the last day of the novena and the eve of Our Lady's Feast. Amazing! Indeed through the Children's Rosary more Miraculous Medals have been put in the hands of children. Thank you God, and a special thank you to Our Blessed Mother for her intercession. The Miraculous Medal has stayed true to its name.
One more meaningful signal grace came when my son Asher took a picture of the medal attached to the rosaries (see picture at the top of the post). He noticed that the inscription on the medal is in Portuguese. Asher has been working hard to learn Portuguese and has been saying more prayers in Portuguese with hopes to help spread the Children's Rosary groups further in Portuguese-speaking countries as well as the Portuguese-speaking communities in the USA. Seeing this medal with the prayer in Portuguese was meaningful to him as well. Indeed God has a way of touching many hearts.
