If ANYTHING that you've had blessed by a priest needs to be parted with, I implore you to never break it, please, just simply burry it and say the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary and Glory Be; either before or after you've buried it. May God Bless you.

Fake sacramentals like a fake Miraculous medal is considered an occult object. There is proper way to dispose it. There is an exorcism prayer for lay people that needs to be recited when destroying occult objects like fake sacramentals. Pls. don't simply dispose or throw it away. Disposal should be accompanied by exorcism prayer. You can search online (reputable websites) or ask your exorcist in your diocese about the prayer and how to dispose occult objects like fake sacramentals.

Hi. Here I am, 4th August 2024. My son has a birthday soon. I was racking my brains as to what to get him and I started to see a lot of vids about The Miraculous Medal. Checked it out on the net, found them on Amazon, bought one. About to switch off for the night, I loaded a new KZbin page ready for the morning. Right at the top of the feed, in the middle, is YOUR vid. Watched some (first few mins), then decided to watch the rest tomorrow (today). Went to bed, got up, got the medal, checked the medal and, guess what? I'll be sending it back tomorrow. Right hand of the virgin missing, rays from behind. I thought well, I'm at church today (Sunday), I'll get the priest to bless it, job done. Then I thought, but I'm still funding evil. So, back it goes. Thank you for this. I'm not half way through vid 1 yet, vid 2 is next in line. ( It just seems... strange? Prophetic? I don't know. I buy a medal in good faith, about to close down for the night and, well. Was my Guardian Angel shouting at me 'LOOK AT THIS' ? Like you say, better safe than sorry). Thanks again.

I'm sorry to hear that it didn't seem authentic. Sending prayers that you find a holy and authentic medal soon for your son...they are such a blessing to have and what a wonderful gift to give him!

Hi, there, I was always giving out miraculous medals and thought perhaps Jesus may have thought that I loved Our lady more than himself. A friend of mine prayed and said to me take a pen and paper with you when you go to bed tonight and God will speak to you. I did this, and during the night I was given a vision of the Madonna and Child and I wrote this down on paper and went back to sleep. Sometime later I was woken with another vision. I saw a large miraculous medal, possibly 6 feet high. I could see the little ring at the top and slowly the image was revealed to me as though it was being unveiled. What I saw was the image not of Mary, but Jesus, and as soon as I recognised the image as Jesus - the image of Jesus changed into the image of the blessed mother. What did I learn by this vision - whatever you do for Our Blessed Mother you do for Jesus! Stuart Young

Are you referring to a Miraculous Medal on a rosary? If so, yes...this would be for all MMs. As I stated in my video though, there are many pieces of jewelry that aren't intended to be authentic and are made more for the beauty of the piece, which is totally fine to wear. It's just imperative that any of your MMs, wherever they are (rosaries, bracelets, necklaces, etc.), that they do not contain elements of evil and that you are aware of what is preferred on an authentic MM, as given to us by Mother Mary. Hope this helps! Blessings to you!

mine looks to be more hand made (it is very, very old as it belonged to my grandfather when he was a child) the oval isn’t a perfect oval, it is an oval and it is perfect but there are very slight evenly spaced dull edges as to give it a very unique look. (12 edges in total, same number as the stars on the back except there’s 5 small edges on each side, one on top and one on bottom. The stars however are exactly as you described them. Theres no funny business in the imagery on the front or back, just a unique oval that makes it look hand made rather than smelted in an oval cast. 🤷‍♂

They are all real unless the back part is totally blank, one star here or there doesn't make it fake or evil if it's been blessed. Unless of course the medal is a pagan medal, it's silly to fall for this fearmongering which the devil enjoys. He wants everyone to throw away their medals.

My brothers and sisters went through all of our MM’s and found several fake ones. And there were some that came from a well respected Catholic company. My sister called the company and let them know and they were very happy that she told them. The best thing to do, if you find a fake one, is to destroy it and throw it away. The important thing is to destroy it, so nobody else can use it. If you don’t destroy it, it could possibly turn up somewhere and someone will think that they have a real miraculous medal.

The medal? No, or at least no moreso than Paul's Napkins, Acts 19 : 12 - it is the associated channel of divine grace that speaks of a sign, wonder, and pledge .. aka what used to be known as a 'sacramental' (linked to the Sacraments of the Church, here that of confessional penance, Jam 5 : 14-16, and the tokens of anointed Confirmation, chrism, healing, and such, Mk 6 : 13). The 'miraculous' medal is is called The Miraculous Medal because of the wonders associated with it, i.e. Our Lady promised to pour out heavenly favours (graces, in answer to fervent prayer), this did not break from or intrude upon any matter of the Faith, and the promise was (and is still) kept, under the title: O Mary conceived without sin - Pray for us who have recourse to thee (e.g. conversion of sinners, healing the wounded heart, mind, and body and soul, turning man's spirit to Christ and his life to follow Jesus). The Modernist, with a materialist or protesting outlook, along with Satan and his ministers, abhors this world defying recognition of God's real, true, and substantial love for His creation; an irrational or pre-rational trust woven into man's very fibre, and knitted into the fabric of trust that other animals can have or come to exhibit towards man (a monster among them if ever there was one). Worse still, miracles do happen, the spirit of prophetic witness is not dead, and nor has man been able to murder God .. at work in his own heart or with pricking goads to his errant mind. And so, with good heart, gusty vigour, and irrepressible humour the Catholic still dares to sing (and even to believe and act accordingly) with a quaint hymn of faith, hope and charity: Ô Vierge Marie .. Immaculate Mary (Lourdes Hymn) | Recorded in 1962 | Catholic Hymn with Lyrics (a pleasant US American version on KZbin) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5DKd4tpgNybrbM The lovely UK version .. here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTWZ4qGn7-cZs0 Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek. God bless. ;o) P.S. Sacramentals should be blessed, they are not for decoration but mindful gifts of God. Hopefully you have a priest near you who understand this, even if he never speaks of it. So up, brave souls, and have at the Adversary .. he has more reason to be fearful of you with Our Lady at your side than you need to be of him and his wiles .. the Lord has provided the armour and weaponry needed for our daily struggles, why then do we now let them rust in the corners of the mind and heart ....

I am a protestant convert and have been researching consecration to mary through Maximilian kolbie and mentioned to my kids that i would love to have a miraculous medal, but money is tight. And that very Sunday, some ladies set up a prayer table in front to hand out blessed rosaries and such each of my children and i were able to get a Miraculous medal (a correct one and blessed) free along with a crusifix they could each wear (which made my 7 year old sons day as he has been asking for a crusifix necklace for awhile it was just such a blessing that Our Lady provided something i had just voiced . (Sadly I did find a fake one and soaked it in holy water and disposed of it. I did not bury it on our property as we have been having a real issue of spiritual warfare and I was not going to take a chance on anything hindering the spiritual side of things.)

"The Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal" in Paris has a miraculous medal on the courtyard statue that says "J'ai Ete Etablie Gardienne"(google it), and there is a sculpture of the medal there - the star position is on top of the cross. This statue is part of the shrine itself. Actually all medal versions with both star position could be seen sculpted/painted throighout the shrine. I think both layout is valid and we are just putting meaning on certain star positioning where there should be none?

Unfortunately, your statement is not true...speaking with multiple priests about it and researching extensively...the consensus is that it is very important to inspect your medals and other sacramentals to ensure they are authentic and don't have any elements of evil that shouldn't be there. Of course, you are entitled to believe differently. For myself personally, I'd rather know that what I'm wearing is something that was made with the best of intentions and that it only contains holy (non-evil) elements. I have enough troubles and battles in this world, I definitely don't want more from something I wear every day. And while a blessing will override a curse (or evil element), I'd rather that my medal be completely free of anything that shouldn't be there. As I stated in my videos (Miraculous Medal 1 and 2), it all comes down to personal preference and discernment. But, it is not accurate to make a blanket statement that "they are all real." Evil does exist in the world and those with evil intentions seek to find any possible way they can to infiltrate good...especially within the Catholic Faith. I appreciate your comment. Blessings to you! 🙏🏻

Hmm. Mine has 6 pointed stars with round balls at the points. The rays appear from behind Our Lady's hands. The stars in her crown are dota. Her face is more a blob. It's cheap aluminium, die cast I think and the size of my thumbnail, though I have large hands. I can't quite make out the snake or the crown of thorns around the Sacred Heart, but there is the suggestion. It might just be worn down though I have only been wearing it for a few weeks.

There is actually a mental condition called scrupolosity or religious OCD. People affected by this are overly meticulous in their religious practice and give special meanings to things and attributes good or bad personal beliefs on things that borders on pathological thinking. The medal is just a reminder that God is with us and is a form of a "silent prayer" to Him. It has no power on itself. Believing so is superstition. It is not an amulet nor a piece of jewelry meant to adorn oneself. We should focus more on God and the Blessed Mother Mary and not on the medal though we should respect it. All the miracles and healings came from God and manifested due to people's faith then and now.
@catholiccarolinamom
@catholiccarolinamom 3 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree that the Miraculous Medal does not have power in itself, which is why I never stated that it does. The Medal is absolutely a visual reminder and witness of our faith and our love for Mary and God. I do not agree that it is due to scrupulosity or that it's superstitious 1) to be aware of which elements should be on an authentic Miraculous Medal and 2) to always look over your medals upon first receiving them to make sure they are void of anything that shouldn't be on them, including evil elements. If you had a Catholic Bible and it had a few pages of pictures of witches or demons inside, you wouldn't simply ignore it and say it would be scrupulous or superstitious to get rid of that Bible! The fact is certain things in our world, even secular things, are supposed to contain particular elements and be void of others. Being well educated on what a Miraculous Medal should contain and looking over your new Medals to make sure they contain those things and nothing else, is wise. Scrupulosity is CONTINUAL and UNFOUNDED agitation and fear that something is a sin. Superstition relating to sacramentals would be someone who attributes the efficacy of prayer to their Medal physically instead of to the work of God...which is not any sort of claim that I made either. I appreciate your comment...I think there is a lot that we can agree on, however, labeling people as scrupulous or superstitious for being diligent and aware is simply not one of them. Blessings to you!

I have encountered a fake Miraculous Medal - that was being sold on ebay ( am sure the sellers wasnt doing this intentionally, its just that he/she didnt really pay close attention to details. Which i did and this is what i noticed. 1) the face of the Blessed Mother looked like a witch ( you can see that it was done intentionally. The reason being that is that the other miraculous medal being sold on ebay never came close to that image. i mean literally look like a witch. 2 ) the rays suppose to be from her hands, and not on the side of her robe. 3) you cant barely read the wordings that says " conceived without sin " at the back you cant barely noiced the crown of thorns and the swords on both of their hearts.. i would love to show you the picture but cant do that here on youtube... Anyway, please keep a close-eye before purchasing one because i heard that these medals posessed " curse" and will bring bad things in your life...these medals were made by satanist or devil worshiper so pls. becareful !

Appreciate the content, but a word of warning out of love about these medals and Dr. TM. I just heard about on Good Friday from my parish priest when I went for the Stations of the Cross. I made some rosaries with MM and had given them to him to hand out to anyone who may have been in need of one. He said he heard about this controversy and asked me to look into it. Here's what I found: 1. This started as a dispute between the two Catholic apostolates distributing the MM. 2. In 2009, a Frenchwoman claimed that Freemasons had struck false medals matching one in the dispute. 3. According to a French woman known as “Danielle”, who claimed to have received a private revelation from God the Father, the Freemasons had struck a “false” miraculous medal. Unless your medal has obvious satanic/freemason symbols, it is doubtful that they are satanic. Here's why: 1. Historical roots in a public dispute. 2. Unverified claims of private revelation. Private means it's not approved by the Vatican. 3. Uncritical dissemination in media. This is similar to stories going viral and out of control before being properly vetted. The true source of its power lies in the intercession of the Church and Our Lady for those who wear it in devotion. Yes, these make for sensational stories. No doubt, that's part of the reason if not the main reason, this story spread so far so fast. But this doesn't make it true. DR. TM I would also caution against putting too much stock in Dr. TM. I followed his channel a few years ago and learned a lot. I am still appreciative for his role in bringing me back to the faith, and making me want to learn more. Yet, you have to realize his monetization model is aided greatly by putting out sensational content, things that grab your attention. I had to unsubscribe from his channel when I realized his content was becoming more and more focused on sensationalism, controversy, and schismatic. He greatly championed certain bishops (won't mention their names), and at first I took it at face value and supported them and pointed fingers against the Holy Father. But later came to realize much of the stories perpetuated by media, including TM were unfounded - often taken from secondhand stories and rarely taken directly from words of Pope Francis. Sure, the Church has many problems. Sure, the Pope may not be the best we've had. But you have to realize we are called to be in communion with the Church. If you desire change, you work for it from INSIDE the Chruch, not separate. The difference? The first is the mentality of some of the greatest saints. The second is the mentalist of Protestants. Some (because I don't know the exact number) of these bishops have shown themselves to be schismatic more recently as well. If I had continued to follow TM's channel, I wonder if I would have recognized it. Schism, simply put, is separating from the CC and the Office of the Pope and his authority as the Vicar of Christ. Even if the Pope is absolutely wrong, separating yourself from the CC and the Pope is not what we are called to do as Catholics because once you do, you are literally no longer a Catholic. Let that sink in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3KbkIupadObhrMsi=vypUYF-XRzAu_0x7 Many Rad Trads unfortunately are doing exactly this. While their arguments are often good, they are being led astray to wrongful conclusion. I say wrong because separating from the Church is always wrong. In this context, their good arguments are reduced to being mere excuses to make themselves Pope much the same as Protestants did - to champion their own authority over that of the Chair of Peter. Sin of pride after fashion of Satan himself. I beg you, please be careful. Yes, be cautious of the influences of the world and anti-Catholic groups. But also realize that many come in sheep's clothing appearing to deliver truths when they are in fact half-truths. That means they are also half-lies. Discern their ultimate goal and message - is it to help you become a stronger and more faithful Catholic by uniting with Christ's Church with all its human flaws and ups and downs OR is it justify breaking away from it? Criticizing it is fine and necessary for change. But don't EVER think separation is justified.

So you mentioned that if it doesn’t have the full prayer to throw it out. Is this because it makes it evil? I have tons of miraculous medals a whole bag of them. They are tiny, the size of my pinky nail. It doesn’t have the full prayer, rays , doesn’t show her feet or snake. But it has the other elements. I’m not sure if this still could be placed in places for prayer or if they should just be thrown out. I know they are not the original by listening to both your videos. But I’m wondering if that makes these specific ones evil. I thought maybe it didn’t have all the elements because of how tiny it is. But I’m not sure what to do with them.

Thanks so much for your comment. Unfortunately, I can't make a call as to the state of your medals since I cannot see them. This will require proper discernment on your part, including praying to God about it and even speaking to your parish priest if you are still unsure. From what you are describing it sounds like there are no evil elements on the medals, however, they are lacking the elements that Our Mother instructed should be included. I will now pass on to you what a wise and holy priest I know and respect stated to me regarding this question: "If Mother Mary stated the (Miraculous) Medals should have specific elements on them, then I'm going to make sure the medal I wear includes those elements."

Thanks so much for your comment. Regarding St. Catherine's vision...I'm not sure where you found that information, but I would love for you to cite your source, as I always strive to continue educating myself in matters of the Faith, etc. In regards to the six-pointed star, it wasn’t always exclusive to Jews and in fact, wasn't introduced into the Jewish community until the 17th century. It has its origins in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paganism and has always been associated with occult magic practices in Zoroastrian and Druid religions. Some Orthodox Jewish groups even reject the use of the hexagram Shield of David because of its association with magic and the occult. They do not recognize it as a Jewish symbol. In fact, It has six points, forms six equilateral triangles, and in its interior forms a six-sided hexagon. Thus, it has been intentionally designed with a 666 message and is therefore used as a tool of witches' mediums-it’s also been used in other cultures-in pagan art, for instance, and as a feature of Satanic rituals. Of course, as I always state, you should exercise your own proper discernment: do your own research, speak with a trusted, holy priest, and of course pray to God about it. Blessings to you!

I’ve always loved wearing Miraculous medals and gave them away. Now I’m wondering if I gave away non authentic Miraculous Medals! 😳

I received a legitimate medal I believe that is legitimate, for free, from a real organisation that disperses genuine medals. I received a free miraculous medal in the mail. To know it is authentic, it should say “1830” stamped at Mary’s feet (at least it does on mine).

I was bought a medal and chain when I was 19 by the lady I would eventually marry. Although our marriage ended I always kept the medal safe and never took it off. It’s been on my neck for nigh on 24 years now. I took it off to look at it and I’m now sick at heart as it has some of the blemishes you described. It has a star on top of the crucifix, as opposed to either side. The 12 stars have 6 points. The dagger seems to be behind the heart. Mary’s face seems odd in it. And the inscription is not the same. I have always wanted to pass this on to my eldest son when my time would come. I’m devastated about it. I have taught my daughter to seek it on my neck every time she would be in my arms. She would look for mama Mary. And kiss it. I feel so sad right now.

I'm so sorry to hear this. If you have not watched my second Miraculous Medal video I highly encourage you to do so, as it answers a lot of questions about design element specifics and individual discernment. I pray that it is helpful. Blessings to you!

@@cianmoriarty7345 thank you. I have since got a new one. I felt naked without it on my neck. My wee baby girl still kisses it. We call it Mama Mary and if you ask her where mam Mary is she gos straight to it for a kiss. What a blessing.

Chin up, the kingdom of heaven is within, the medal may have been fake but the joy and smile it put on your daughter’s face was real. Get a new one or get something that symbolizes your belief. It’s a pendent, a trinket nothing more, nothing less. Love those around you and love yourself from within. Be the person Christ inspires you to be and you’ll be ok. Your daughter looks up to you. Not a piece of metal. Be her hero and lead by example as I’m sure you already try to do. As you seem like a genuine and nice guy.

For everyone asking if “it’s ok as long as it’s blessed?” Please think about this more objectively. If you wouldn’t wear a baphomet or Krishna/Kali medal that had been blessed by a priest, then you shouldn’t wear a desecrated counterfeit miraculous medal; the master of which was LIKELY dedicated to a demon and cursed. If it’s a precious medal-have it melted down or sell to a dealer for melt value.
