The Miraculous Medal: The Story of Our Lady's Appearances to St. Catherine Laboure - Paperback
by Windeatt (Author), Gedge Harmon (Illustrator)
"Sister, it couldn't have happened! It was all a dream, like the other time," the priest declared. But Sister Catherine was sure she had truly seen Our Lady...and then Our Lady appeared to her again! Would the priest ever believe her? Would he ever have the Medals made as Our Lady had asked? This wonderful story captures what happened when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Catherine Laboure and the beginning of the Miraculous Medal.
