Rooted in the Miraculous Medal

This weekend was an incredible experience to see the power of the Miraculous Medal at work in the life of teens from across the southern US. Steubenville on the Bayou was held where I got the opportunity to pass out 2800 Miraculous Medals. The providence of GOd was behind all of this even from the ability to obtain so many medals and the opportunity to attend this wonderful retreat. I would say that the Blessed Mother had her hand in the whole even to the point of coordinating the place where I attended my Diaconate year. So we went with 250 teens to the retreat of 3000. We were the largest group present at the event and it was very much alive with the Holy Spirit. Some experiences from the retreat were mostly the different teens that reacted so well to the Medal and especially those that came up to me asking for anther one. They knew that it was something Holy and recognized that the Blessed Mother was praying for them when they accepted to wear one. Perhaps the most beautiful sight is passing out these medals one by one to teens that otherwise would not be open to such public expressions of love for God and Mary.
