The most famous took place on the night of 27 November: she saw the Virgin standing upon a globe, with rays of light streaming from her open hands toward the earth.<\/p>\n<p>Around the image there appeared, written out, an invocation that would be engraved on millions of medals and in the hearts of the faithful.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rr-destacado\">\u00abO Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.\u00bb<\/div>\n<p>According to the account, the Lady asked that a medal be struck bearing that image, promising abundant graces to those who would wear it with confidence. The medal was made from that testimony and spread with astonishing speed throughout Paris, especially in the years of the cholera epidemic, when the people began to call it \u00abmiraculous\u00bb because of the conversions and favours attributed to it.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine lived the rest of her life in humility and silence, not revealing until shortly before her death that she had been the seer. The little medal, born of her hidden testimony, remains one of the most widespread Marian sacramentals in the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rr-fuentes\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong> tradition of the Rue du Bac and history of the Congregation of the Mission and of the Daughters of Charity. It is on <strong>solid historical ground<\/strong> that Catherine Labour\u00e9 belonged to that community, passed on the content of the vision, and that the medal was designed and spread from her testimony. The \u00abmiraculous\u00bb fame for countless graces is <strong>devotional tradition<\/strong> that is widely attested; there is no historical verification of each particular healing.<\/div>\n<div class=\"rr-flor\">\n<h3>\ud83c\udf39 A flower for the Virgin<\/h3>\n<p>Give thanks to the Virgin Mary for her love.
