November 27, 2022  

There is an Advent spirit in the heart of every human person. It is one of longing, of yearning for a fulfillment that somehow lies beyond ourselves, for we long for the coming of the Lord.  

The Advent spirit flows from our deeply rooted human  incompleteness. St. Augustine said it best: “You made us for  yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

That the First Sunday of Advent is celebrated on November 27 has special meaning, for Vincentians. On the evening of  November 27, 1830, Sister Catherine Labouré, a 24-year-old novice of the Daughters of Charity, was visited for the second of three times by the Blessed Mother who that night described an image for a new holy medallion. The face of the medallion was to depict Mary standing on a globe with the head of a serpent beneath her feet and  surrounded by the words "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have  recourse to thee."

The young nun’s confessor took the information to his archbishop who approved the request and within a few years, millions of Catholics had adopted the medallion that we know as the Miraculous Medal. Canonized in 1947, St.  Catherine’s incorrupt body and that of St. Louise de Marillac, a co-founder of the Daughters of Charity, are interred in the chapel of the order’s motherhouse in Paris, the chapel where St. Catherine experienced her visions.

Vincentians celebrate the  Miraculous Medal on November 27 and St. Catherine’s Feast Day on November 28.  In the spirit of the Miraculous Medal and of Advent, let us make room in our prayers for the poor and the marginalized seeking a place at our table of plenty during this season of anticipation.
