P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.

All: Who made heaven and earth.

P: The Lord be with you.

All: And with your spirit.

Let us pray.

Almighty and merciful God, who by the many appearances on earth of the

Immaculate Virgin Mary were pleased to work miracles again and again for the

salvation of souls; kindly pour out your blessing on this medal, so that all who

devoutly wear it and reverence it may experience the patronage of Mary Immaculate

and obtain mercy from you; through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

The priest sprinkles the medal with holy water, and presents it to the person, saying:

Take this holy medal; wear it with faith, and handle it with due devotion, so that the

holy and immaculate Queen of heaven may protect and defend you. And as she is

ever ready to renew her wondrous acts of kindness, may she obtain for you in her

mercy whatever you humbly ask of God, so that both in life and in death you may

rest happily in her motherly embrace.

All: Amen.

The priest continues:

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Our Father Prayer.

P: And lead us not into temptation.

All: But deliver us from evil.

P: Queen conceived without original sin.

All: Pray for us .

P: Lord, heed my prayer.

All: And let my cry be heard by you.

P: The Lord be with you.

All: And with your spirit.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus Christ, who willed that your Mother, the blessed Virgin Mary conceived

without sin, should become illustrious through countless miracles; grant that we

who ever seek her patronage may finally possess everlasting joys. We ask this of you

who live and reign forever and ever. All: Amen.

Saint Catherine Labouré, pray for us.
