Actually, I think I saw something demonic on the medal you showed at 13:29 on this video. It's the back of the medal. The two stars at the bottom of the medal, under the hearts of Jesus and Mary. These two stars have the one point facing downwards, they're stars turned upside down. The single point should be facing upwards, two sidewards, and two downwards. When the star is turned upside down like this, it's a symbol of the goat head. I have a Miraculous Medal that was given to me by the person who conducted the RCIA class I attended, so I'm confident this medal is good, and the two stars at the bottom are in the correct position, with the two bottom points facing downward, not turned upside down with the single point facing down.

There are two reasons I don't show what the fakes look like: 1) I don't want to give the fakes airtime, but also 2) to be quite honest, I don't want them around. There are other resources online that show examples of fakes, but I do stand by the fact that if you know what an authentic medal should look like, it makes an inauthentic one really easy to spot.

I just found this medal yesterday Sept 19 in my Airbnb in Warsaw Poland. My mom is so happy and sent me an article “Vatican finally approves Medjugorje devotion”. I used to be catholic then Christian. I never felt the connection with Mary that my mom and wife have so I never included her in my prayers. I never understood why pray to her when you can go straight to the source. But I always did my three Hail Marys just because I’ve always done them since I was kid. I do them in my sleep without concious effort. I’ve always debated with them saying “I respect Mary but why not just pray directly to God”? But I’ve always kept the door open saying, “Mary if you want me to know you then I’m open to that”. I’m not sure what she wants from me but I’m going to wear the medal next to my Jesus piece.

I just bought some miraculous medals from Amazon to give to my children. The medals have a very dark background color that looks like either a dark navy blue or even black at first glance, but in the light, the color is actually a very dark purple. They were described as having a purple background rather than the traditional blue for Mary. I also noticed that the date, 1830, is not present on the medal, and the words surrounding Our Lady are barely legible, even after examining them with a bright light. Would you consider them inauthentic? I still have the option to return them. My main concern is the missing date of 1830. I believe the inscription is correct, but I have very poor vision. Thank you...

I'm sorry for my delay in responding...if you haven't already watched my Part 2 video, I highly suggest that you do, as I answer a lot of these questions. Ultimately, it must come down to your own personal conviction and what you feel you should do regarding the medals in your possession. Some medals don't have evil elements, but are different from the original medal Mary gave to us, either by having missing elements or added elements. In those cases, it's up to you whether you want to wear a truly authentic medal or are okay with wearing something that isn't. There are a lot of medals that are made more for fashion, and there's nothing wrong with these, as long as they are free of any evil (oftentimes hidden) elements...as long as you recognize that's all they are is fashion. Hope this helps! God bless you for spreading this wonderful devotion to your children.

I looked at some of my Miraculous Medals, and noticed that on one of them at the back, there is a star above the cross, and a star at the bottom below the two hearts, one for Jesus, and one for Mary. Also, it shows the 2 hearts joined by a bar through the top where the flames are. So, can anyone tell me if that particular Medal is a fake one. It does say that it’s from Italy. I would appreciate an answer to this. Thanks to all.

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.

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. 🤷♂

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?
