God Touches A Life: Catherine Laboure

God Touches A Life: Catherine Laboure, Messenger of Mary Immaculate - EWTN

Filmed at significant locations in her life, the story moves from her birth in 1806 to her death on the last day of 1876. A childhood dream of St. Vincent de Paul determined her choice of an order, the Daughters of Charity, which he founded. It was at the Motherhouse of the order, on the Rue du Bac in Paris 1830, that she received a series of visions of the Miraculous Medal. St . Catherines sanctity is ascribed not to her visions, but to her service to the poor, and her humility. Although the visions became known through circulation of the medal, the sister to whom the Blessed Mother appeared remained nameless, until she reveal ed it to her Superior 46 years later, in the last year of her life.
