FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL

AVE MARIA PURISSIMA SIN PECADO CON SU VIDA...



Today, November 27, is the Feast of the Miraculous Medal. Devotion to and wearing of the Miraculous Medal is second to the Rosary in popularity among traditional Catholic devotions.

History

In 1830, the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed the design of the Miraculous Medal to St. Catherine Laboure in an apparition.



In Paris, on June 6, 1830, the Lord appeared to the young (age 24) Daughter of Charity novice Catherine at Mass, and again on the nights of July 18-19 when she was summoned to the chapel by a beautiful "child clothed in white" to converse with the Virgin Mary. Catherine was told prophecies and charged with "a mission" that manifested itself on November 27 in an early morning (5:30am) appearance of the Blessed Virgin who was "clothed in white" standing on a globe and "a serpent." Rays of light issued forth from rings on her fingers and Catherine was told to commission a medal of what she was seeing. Then, turning the letter "M surmounted by a bar and a cross" underneath which were the hearts of Jesus and Mary all surrounded by the words "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."



Catherine heard the voice tell her, "Have a medal struck after this model. All who wear this medal will receive great favors. They should wear it around the neck . Favors will abound if worn with devotion." Catherine's mission was to ensure that the medal was made and to spread Mary's message of love and compassion.

Many healings, conversions and other miracles have been documented by those who have faithfully worn the 'Medal of the Immaculate Conception' as the Miraculous Medal was originally called.



There are numerous Miraculous Medal Associations throughout the world. They are united under the care of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians or Lazarists), the religious order founded by St. Vincent de Paul. Membership contributions go to spread devotion to the Virgin Mary and to support the work of the Vincentians. Each Association maintains a shrine and usually has some type of publication for members.

THE INCORRUPT BODY OF SAINT CATHERINE

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God

Ave Maria Purissima,

Our Sacrifice Valley song >"Kung kayo'y nagdududa, buklatin ang inyong biblia, buksan sa huling pahina, ang lahat ay nagaganap na..." And, its true.
Revelations 7 says;

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.

8Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Verse 2 says about the another ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST,HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD. As I discussed in other posts in this blog, the ANGELS of the Apocalypse are the BISHOPS who are overseeing the Church of Christ on earth. It means that in the end, prior to the Second Coming of the Lord, another Angel or Another Bishop will ascend from the EAST having the seal of the Living God. Prophet Ezekiel 9:2-4 also says;

"And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;

4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

If we will notice, there are two parts in the Book of Revelations that says about the SIGNING OR MARKING OF THE FOREHEAD to be SAVED. The first was in Revelations 3:12

12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

So, in the first time, the Holy Spirit, who speaks to the Churches, will WRITE ON THE FOREHEAD of the elect or chosen people while in the second time, it will be the Angel or the Bishop who is ascending from the EAST.

We believe that our Beloved INGKONG through Beloved Mama Saint Maria Virginia performed His marking, i.e. sealing; of the elect. After her, by privelege of being the Pontifical Bishop of the Church of the Holy Spirit, Patriarch John Florentine is the OTHER ANGEL FROM THE EAST. As such, he is the ANGEL HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD and therefore he is to perform HOLY SEALING. He have the authority to SEAL the people because he received it from Beloved Ingkong, being the covenant partner and who availed the last drop of Christ's saving blood in Calvary.

After the said chapter and verse of the Book of Revelations there is no more mention of the Sealing of God. It means that after him there is no more holy Sealing as we know. However, I believe Beloved Ingkong will leave a deposit of Faith to the succeeding Patriarch and hierarchy of the Church on how to summon the power of Heaven to still distribute salvation and solace - this at this moment is beyond our comprehension.

And also, in the same chapter, Saint John saw the number of the Sealed Servants from the [remnant] House of Israel, 144,000 and following that are the multitudes in white robes worshipping God seated in His Throne.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

The people arrayed in white robes are the sealed servants from many nations, races, and languages. This will happen and are happening during the term onwards of the Signing Angel who is no other but our Patriarch John Florentine.

The above explanation should answer our questions and eliminate any doubt of the role and why our Patriarch John Florentine, through him, Beloved Ingkong is still SIGNING or sealing the elect|chosen people. It is written.

SUMMARY:
Revelations 3:12 says that the HS will mark His people
Revelations 7 says that [through] an ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST God will mark His people.
