Answer 2

She is called Saint Catherine Labore.
She always wanted to see her Guardian Angel, and on the night of July 18-19, 1830, a child (perhaps her guardian angel) awakened Sister (now Saint) Catherine Labouré, a novice in the community of the Daughters of Charity in Paris, Rue de Bac, and summoned her to the chapel. There she met with the Virgin Mary sitting on a chair... I sat on that chair!... and spoke with her for several hours. During the conversation Mary said to her, “My child, I am going to give you a mission.”

On November 27, 1830 she had a vision of Our Lady who described to her a medal which she wished struck. On one side it has the image of Our Lady, and the words, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee"; on the other are the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Our Lady told Catherine that wearers of the medal would receive great graces, it has become known as the Miraculous Medal, and its wearing and devotion has spread worldwide
