Our Lady of America - the sole authenticated source for Our Lady of America - medallion

The Official Medallion

Granted an official Imprimatur by Archbishop
Paul F. Leibold†,.

While Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati, Monsignor Paul F. Leibold†, formally approved the design for the "Our Lady of America Medal" and personally paid for striking of the first medals ordered.
In addition, before dying Monsignor Leibold†, had two large plaques depicting Our Lady of America made, hanging one in the Cincinnati Catholic Chancery. The Monsignor also approved the printing of the private revelation messages of Sister Mary Ephrem. He served as Sister Mary Ephrem's spiritual director for many years.
"Tell the bishops of the United States, my loyal sons, of my desires and how I wish them to be carried out," The Blessed Virgin Mary told Sister Mary Ephrem, who saw Her with a white veil reaching almost to Her waist and a mantle and robe of pure white with no decoration. An oblong brooch or clasp held the ends of the mantle together at the top. It was all gold, as was the high and brilliant crown she wore. Her hair and eyes seemed medium brown, said Sister Mary Ephrem. Her feet were bare, but not always visible, sometimes covered by the moving clouds on which she stood. Often she smiled and revealed a heart encircled by roses that sent forth flames of fire. "I am Our Lady of America," said The Blessed Virgin. "I desire that my children honor me, especially by the purity of their lives." At times light twinkled from Mary's hair, wrote Sister Mary Ephrem, and seemed to radiate from within her.
Sister Mary Ephrem died on January 10, 2000 at the age of 83.
The one side bears the image of Our Lady of America and around it the words, "By Your Holy and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, Deliver Us From Evil." The Coat of Arms of the Christian Family is on the reverse side of the medal. The Divine Indwelling is represented by the Triangle and the Eye on the shield of the Precious Blood, through which sanctifying grace is made possible to fallen man. The Sanctification of the family through imitation of the Holy Family is represented by the Cross and the two lilies on each of which is depicted a burning heart. The flaming sword is a symbol of Divine Love so necessary to obtain union with God, while the rosary indicates a most profitable means of drawing closer to the Holy Family, through devout meditation on the various Mysteries. The scroll above bears the inscription, "Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto" and the one below, "Jesu, Maria, Joseph." These aspirations are simply explanations of the whole theme and are also acts of praise to the Trinity and the Holy Family.
This medal is to be worn with great faith and fervent devotion to Our Lady for the grace of intense purity of the heart and the particular love of the Holy Virgin and her Divine Son.
