Mary stood upon the world with rays of light streaming from her open hands, and revealed their meaning: the rays are the graces she pours out upon all who ask for them, while the gems that shed no light are the graces souls forget to request. She asked that a medal be struck after this image, promising great graces to all who wear it. Known the world over as the Miraculous Medal, it bears her words: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.”\n\nOur Lady of Grace reminds us that God’s graces are always offered — we have only to ask.\n\nFeast Day: November 27 | Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal\n\nRead more about Our Lady of Grace, the Miraculous Medal of Saint Catherine Labouré, and the graces we forget to ask for →\n\nWHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL\n\nThis plush is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and crafted in soft, cuddle-ready fabric. She stands robed in white and blue with her hands open and lowered, rays of grace embroidered streaming from her palms. At about 8 inches tall, she is sized to be carried through the day, tucked into bed at night, and hugged as often as a child likes.\n\nEvery Catholic Plush Doll from Little Drops of Water is hand-designed and made to be loved — soft to hold, with embroidered features and no hard pieces, so a child’s first encounter with a saint is something gentle, huggable, and entirely their own.\n\nA REFLECTION\n\nWhen Our Lady appeared on the Rue du Bac, the rays from her hands were the graces she longed to give — and the dim gems were the graces no one thought to ask for. Her message is a gentle one: God’s help is always offered, and we have only to ask. To keep her near is to be reminded to bring everything to her in prayer, certain of a mother’s ready answer.\n\nPERFECT FOR THE FAMILIES\n\nA keepsake gift for:\n\n * A child’s First Communion, Baptism, or Confirmation \n * A companion to the Miraculous Medal \n * The feast of Our Lady of Grace (November 27) \n * A gift of intercession for someone in need of grace \n * Christmas, Mother’s Day, or a Marian name day \nWhere she belongs\n\nShe is at home in a child’s arms first of all — on the pillow at bedtime, in the car seat on a long drive, in a backpack on the first day of school, or beside a crib as a soft first patron.
