Prayer to St. Catherine Laboure
Lord, may we who honour St. Catherine,
recognize at all times Your image in the needy, so that,
as we serve them in simplicity of heart,
we may be, in the world, true witnesses of Your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

“I do not know how to find words for what I experienced and perceived, or for the beauty and the splendor of those magnificent rays (coming from the hands of the Blessed Virgin). Mary told me, “They are the symbol of the graces which I shed on those who ask me for them. Have a medal struck according to this model; all those who wear it, especially if they wear it around the neck, will receive great graces, and these graces will be abundant for those who wear it with confidence.” (From St. Catherine Laboure’s account of the apparitions, November 27,1830)
