Our Description

This beautiful laminated holy card has Our Lady of Grace with the Miraculous Medal on the front. The prayer is:

Remember, O most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother; to thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux
