Dear Friend in Christ,

Because you are a cherished Member of Mary’s Miraculous Medal Family, I sent you three very special Christmas Spiritual Benefit Cards so you can give your loved ones the gift of daily prayer for an entire year beginning on Christmas Day.

 

Sharing such an incredible gift with your friends and family — the gift of prayers said for them in our daily Mass and the undying graces, blessed intercessions, and love from Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, the mother of our Lord and Savior — has the power to transform lives.

 

There is no greater Christmas gift than the powerful prayer of daily Mass at the Basilica Shrine — where your intentions will be lifted up to our Blessed Mother.

 

Mary, Our Mother, hears our prayers, and her loving intercessions are the gateway to her Son. This Christmas, she will bring you, your loved ones, and your intentions to the Infant Jesus in the manger. There, clothed in His light, she will plead on your behalf and continue interceding for you and yours throughout the year.

 

Now more than ever, we need Mary’s intercession.

YES, Fr. John, I want to give my loved ones the gift of 365 days of prayer for Christmas. Please remember my loved ones in prayer every day during Mass at Mary’s Shrine from this Christmas until next. With my Christmas offering of $100 or more, please send me this very special Olive Wood Christmas Angel with relic.

So please send me the My Gift of Christmas Prayer Enrollment Form I mailed you, or fill out the form at the top of this page so your loved ones can find peace and happiness from 365 days of uninterrupted prayer at the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.

 

And can I also ask you to please remember the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the disabled when you reply to me today? We Vincentians provide urgently-needed assistance to so many individuals and families in need especially during the Christmas season. But to do this, we need your help.

 

That is why I pray that when you send back your My Gift of Christmas Prayer Enrollment Form, you will include a generous Christmas offering to help our suffering brothers and sisters — and spread devotion to our Blessed Mother.

 

The gift you give will be a blessing to the neediest among us. And your Christmas gift of 365 days of prayer will make a difference in the lives of your friends and loved ones.

 

As you and I prepare to celebrate the virgin birth of our Lord and Savior, may God bless you and the loved ones you have generously decided to gift with 365 days of prayer during Holy Mass at Mary’s Shrine. I look forward to serving you and be assured of my blessings at Christmas and always.

Fr. John A. Kettelberger, CM
Spiritual Director, Central Association of the Miraculous Medal

P.S. Please send me the names of those you want to bless with the gift of 365 days of prayer at the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Write their names on the My Gift of Christmas Prayer Enrollment Form. And while no donation is required, please consider giving a gift to help spread devotion to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and support the charitable works of our Vincentian priests and brothers.


P.P.S. In the grotto at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, there is a star that marks the place where the baby Jesus was born. My dear friend, if you can make a Christmas offering of $100 or more, I would like to send you a special Olive Wood Christmas Angel with a third-class relic that was touched to the birthplace of Jesus!
