What a story!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

I have many semesters taught the theology of miracles. And I have an unpublished book manuscript on "The History and Theology of Miracles." My hope is to publish the manuscript in the near future.

What's the problem with Ignatius Press? They do publish some good books.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

No problem that I am aware of. They ought to publish that book on miracles mentioned in the article.

BUMP

[nickcarraway]

I think he means that Ignatius Press should publish the manusript.

[Salvation]

That is exciting news. Keep us posted!

Geez, I must be getting old. I'm crying again.

Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

[Maximilian]

Bump for the Miraculous Medal! Every Catholic should be wearing one. And give one to your non-Catholic or fallen away friends.

"O Mary conceived without sin, Pray for us who have recourse to thee."

Looks like I should start wearing my medals again; it's kind of difficult though since they get caught and tangled with my scapular.

I gave them out at the papal Mass in Ukraine.

Wear one my sister gave me a long time ago as she and her family were surmounting the biggest trial in their lives to date.

Good idea. You can purchase decent quality medals for only $1 - $2 each. I like to buy 10, have them blessed, and then have them ready to pass out to anyone who seems to need and/or want one. It's too late to think about it later if the inspiration hits you but you don't have an extra medal.

Thanks for the ping!

[Smocker]

Thanks,
I wear a Miraculous Medal, and my scapular, as well as a St. Benedict Medal.

I wear a miraculous medal and a Crucifix that is a minature replication of the Crucifix Saint-to-be Pope John Paul II chose for his Pontificate.

[Pyro7480]

I wear a Miraculous Medal, and my scapular, as well as a St. Benedict Medal.

I wear all three too! I also wear a crucifix with the St. Benedict Medal incorporated into it, and medals of Sts. Francis de Sales, Maria Goretti, and Joseph.

I ran into fellow members of the Militia Immaculata, founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe, at the March for Life in DC this year. I got a whole bunch of Miraculous Medals which I keep in coat pocket, and have given away a few. St. Maximilian called them "spiritual bullets."

I understand your predicament with the tangling, Coleus. It happens to me too, but I still wear all of them. In fact, in this book of photography from "The Passion" that I got yesterday, there's a pic of Mel with the scapular and a couple of medals around his neck.
