Do you really believe God loves you? If you do, you know everything that happens in your life is for your good. And it isn't always a peaceful experience.
"Do you really believe God loves you? If you do, you know everything that happens in your life is for your good. And it isn't always a peaceful experience." - Mother Angelica | OUR LADY OF MERCY STATUE Devotion to Our Blessed Mother under the title of Our Lady of Mercy dates back well into the Middle Ages, when the Mercedarian Order invoked her under this title. The Mercedarian Order was founded in 1218 in Spain by St. Peter Nolasco to redeem Christian captives from their Muslim captors. In this statue, Mary is dressed in white garments similar to the Mercedarian habit with a scapular in her right hand and a pair of shackles in her left hand. The red shield on her breast is the shield of the Order of Mercy. This ceramic statue measures 8½”H including the base. These statues come from Colombia, S.A. and are meticulously hand-painted by a group of widows that have lost their husbands due to the violence occurring in Colombia. $24.00 | ST.
