My boyfriend and I went on a daytrip the other day. It was a state thing so there was a lot of peolpe there. We were all in the parking lot ready to board this bus. We got talking to an older couple(60's-70's because they had gone the previous year. We talked about the cruise and where we went to school. We told him that we go to a catholic school. He said "Oh really? Then maybe you would like to have these." he pulled out 2 oval charms. They had what looked like Mary on them. There was also this saying around her, "regina sine labe originali concepta" what does that mean?

This is Latin for "Queen conceived with original sin", and probably has "ora pro nobis" - or "O.P.N." - which is Latin for "Pray for us". Usually in English this is translated "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee"...
You have been given two Miraculous Medals. This is a popular Catholic devotion based on a vision of Mary the Blessed Mother to St. Catherine Laboure' from 1830. This is considered "private revelation", and although approved by the Church as a genuine vision from the Blessed Virgin, it is optional for Catholics to believe. (As opposed to public revelation - as was revealed by Jesus Christ and the apostles in the New Testament - which all Catholics are required to believe as true.)
All Catholics are encouraged to pray to Mary for her intercession as it will bring many graces from God.

This was so sweet for them to of given this to you. Consider it, you meeting your guardian angel so to speak. Cherish that gift forever for what it means is so powerful & heart warming. **God the Father looks over five angels bearing a scroll with the words "Regina Sine Labe Originali Concepta"**
