Commemoration of the apparition of the Virgin to Saint Catherine of Labouré. The image Saint Catherine saw is the one printed millions on prints and medals: the Virgin dressed in white with her palms open and rays of light coming out of her fingers towards the land next to Her, a shining globe with the cross over it. The mother of God insisted to Catherine for humanity to pray more so She could lavish more grace.
Celebrate today: Mila, Milagro, Milagros.
