So I'm Catholic, and I've been lookng into getting a miraculous medal for a while. I'm really want to get one in the link above. I don't want to go into the whole history and meaning of it on here, but basically it's not an official teaching of the*Catholic Church to wear it, but*some Catholics believe that wearing the medal with faith and devotion can bring special graces*through the intercession of Mary at the hour of death. It has very specific features to it. I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it, and if anybody on here wears one. I'm open to any suggestions or criticisms. Thanks :)

all i have to say is it shows that you are devoted. So, how devoted are you of your faith? if you are barely devoted, don't cuz then your lying to everyone. but if you are, then go for it.

I believe strongly in Catholicism, but I haven't gotten devoted to a church in a while. I move around so much that I really can't devote myself to a single church. It doesn't help that my mom has moved away from the faith and my dad has never really been religious, but I put serious thought into it and I want to be ome more devoted to my faith. I've been looking into churches and the necessary steps to become a devoted Catholic. My parents said that they support me, and my grandmother is REALLY religious, so she's been helping me out.

Your grandmother is religious, so i would ask for her opinion. From what you have said, i would say yes, get it.

She's sending me one of her mother's Catholic medals. She said she thinks it was time for me to have it. She said I should also buy the miraculius medal. And thanks, I think I will.
