25 October 2025, 6:14 pm - 46 minutes 21 secondsTHE MYSTICAL ROSE: The Miraculous Medal
In 1830, the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Labouré, a French nun, and asked the sister to create what has come to be known as The Miraculous Medal, a sacramental that holds a special place in the heart of many Catholics.
The Miraculous Medal was originally called the Medal of the Immaculate Conception. Because of the numerous accounts of miracles by those who wore it, people began to call it the Miraculous Medal, and the name stuck. The medal is also called the Medal of Our Lady of Graces and is a visual reminder of our salvation through Jesus Christ. Find out more about The Miraculous Medal at https://miraculousmedal.org.

1 December 2023, 1:52 am - 6 minutes 8 secondsTHE MYSTICAL ROSE: 10 Tips on How to Pray Well
While juggling our busy family and work lives is important, it's essential to think of not just our "material world" but our "souls" and the "spiritual aspects" of our lives.
I know that when it comes to my prayer life, it's best to put myself on a routine. For example – I've found that I'm consistent in my prayer life when I pray first thing in the morning and as the last thing I do before I go to bed; if I'm able to fit in prayer mid-day, that works, but my times are morning and evening.
I've assembled these incredible pointers by researching expert tips. They've helped me, and I hope they'll be helpful to you.
