SAINT CATHERINE LABOURE and the Miraculous Medal by Alma Power-Waters.

Description

This Vision book tells the story of Catherine Laboure, a Burgundy farm girl who, after a prophetic dream of St. Vincent de Paul, became a Sister of Charity in Paris and later in Enghein, where she cooked and mended and cared for the inmates of a home for elderly men. To this obscure Sister the Blessed Virgin appeared, made prophecies, and commissioned the making of the Medal which soon came to be known as “miraculous” because of the favors wrought. St. Catherine Laboure lived a life of prayer and service to the poor. She was canonized in 1947. Paper.
