About Us

Our Lady of Ransom (Mercy)

On August 1, 1218, under the title of Our Lady of Ransom, Mary appeared separately to Saint Peter Nolasco, his confessor Saint Raymond of Penafort and King James I of Aragon. In each apparition, Mary asked for the creation of a religious order to carry out the task of ransoming captives. Subsequently the Royal, Military and Religious Order of Mercy for the Redemption of Captives, known as the Mercedarians, was established by the King. In 1236, Pope Gregory IX granted the Mercedarians formal recognition as a religious order. Mercedarian priests celebrated Mass and prayed for members of the order.


Saint Peter died in 1256, but his mission continued. From 1200 through the 1800s, more that a million European Christians were captured and enslaved – and it’s estimated the Mercedarians rescued 500,000 of them. In 1696, the feast of Our Lady of Ransom was established on September 24. The name was changed to Our Lady of Mercy after Vatican II. Mercedarians still exist in countries throughout the world and are committed to freeing Christians in bondage to sin, addiction and poverty. Mary is as much a superhero today as she was centuries ago. If you want to break the chains of bondage to any evil for your family, your community, your world or yourself, pray to Our Lady of Mercy:ļ»æ

Our Lady of Mercy,


Immaculate Mother of God, hear our prayer. You responded in love to the captives who cried out to you from their oppression, breaking the chains of their bondage. Be with us as we seek to be heralds of God’s love and freedom. The word of God became flesh through your fervent and pure love. We ask you, dear Mother, break the chains of our slavery (mention any need or addiction or difficulty) for free of them, we are able to imitate your Son, Jesus Christ.


Amen

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
 Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
