The Power of the Miraculous Medal
Approaching the next home on our visitation we noticed that a chain was on the grill surrounding the front door area. As there was no padlock on the chain we were able to enter the porch and press the front doorbell. A woman answered the door and we started with our normal opening comments “Hi we are …. and …. from the Catholic Church and we are visiting on behalf of Father, who sends his regards to you.” The reply given was “I am sorry but I go to another Parish and don’t want to talk at the moment as I have just lost my job.” We said we were sorry to hear the news and that we would pray for her. She then accepted the Mass times and a prayer card along with a miraculous medal and the explanation leaflet on the medal. We did not press any further comment to her as she closed the door.
That evening I received a message on my answering machine to call this very lady. After a short prayer I cautiously returned her call. She had called the Parish Priest and he had listened to her story and gave her my phone number. She quietly related what was happening behind that door we knocked on for Jesus and Mary.
“ Ten minutes before you arrived I removed the padlock from the external grill surround as it would be easier for people to find me. I had planned to go to the medicine cabinet and commit suicide. But your knock on the door interrupted me. When you left I read the pamphlet and held the miraculous medal in my hand and I want to say thank you for calling today”.
Wasn’t it wonderful that Jesus and Mary directed us, on their behalf, to that door at that time. A small prayer card and a miraculous medal can be very powerful. We never know what is happening to the people behind those closed doors when we simply give a smile, a hello and a gift from Jesus and Mary.
