Passionate Witness
"And Mary said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior... His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear him.'" (LUKE 1:46-47, 50)
Imitating Mary, Following Christ
Make the Sign of the Cross.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Amen.
Opening Prayer
O Mary,
Conceived without Sin,
I come to you today,
wearing your Miraculous Medal.
Grant me the grace to walk with you,
and to imitate the love and faith
that guided your every step.
With you at my side
may I learn to follow your Son,
Jesus Christ,
ever more perfectly.
Amen.
Mediation
The Magnificat is Mary’s powerful, Spirit filled and prophetic proclamation. She does not keep her joy quiet; she proclaims God's greatness, His justice, and His mercy to the world. To imitate her is to become a passionate witness, who cannot help but proclaim the great things God has done, sharing the joy of the Gospel with a world in need.
Daily Prayer
O Mother of the Word,
your soul magnified the Lord.
As I wear your medal,
may I be filled with the same Spirit
that so empowered you.
Make me a passionate witness,
that my life, my words, and my actions
might proclaim the greatness of your Son,
Jesus Christ, to all I meet.
Amen.
Novena Prayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of God and my Mother,
I thank you for the gift of your Miraculous Medal.
I wear it as a sign of my trust in you
and my desire to imitate your virtues.
You are the perfect model of the Christian life.
By reflecting on your humility, obedience, faith,
charity, purity, patience, hope, and zeal,
teach me to follow your Son.
Gently mould my heart to be like yours.
May this medal be a constant reminder of my commitment,
a shield against evil,
and a sign of your loving protection.
Present me to Jesus,
and obtain for me the grace
to live as his faithful disciple,
now and forever.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
(Recite three times)
Final Sign of the Cross.
