Prayers to St. Catherine Laboure

Prayer to St. Catherine
She revealed to you her desire that her children wear the Miraculous Medal as a mark of their love for her and in honor of her Immaculate Conception.
Intercede Saint Catherine Labouré, you were the chosen confidant of the Blessed Virgin Mary for us, that we may follow our heavenly mother's desires. Ask that we may receive those special graces which flow from her motherly hands like rays of light. Amen

St. Catherine of Laboure Prayer
Whenever I go to the chapel,
I put myself in the presence of our good Lord, and I say to him
"Lord, I am here.
Tell me what you would have me do."

If he gives me some task,
I am content and I thank him.

If he gives me nothing,
I still thank him
since I do not deserve to receive anything
more than that.

And then, I tell God
everything that is in my heart.
I tell him about my pains and my joys,
and then I listen.

If you listen, God will also speak to you,
for with the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen.
God always speaks to you
when you approach him plainly and simply.

Remember St. Catherine Laboure

Remember St. Catherine by wearing the St. Catherine medal, St. Catherine necklace, or St. Catherine pendant. She showed Christians the importance of honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, humbly following Mary's instructions. Wearing a St. Catherine medal reminds Catholics to continue the work of St. Catherine, spreading devotion to the Blessed Mother wherever they go.

St. Catherine Laboure was silent about the apparitions she saw of the Virgin Mary. She only told her spiritual advisor about what she saw. St. Catherine remained a simple, devout sister, never wanting the adoration of others because of her visions of the Blessed Virgin. It wasn't revealed until years later who the Blessed Virgin really appeared to.

Catholics wear a St. Catherine pendant to give St. Catherine Laboure the honor she deserves.
