Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy. Also known as Our Lady of Ransom, Our Lady of Mercy appeared as an apparition carrying two bags of coins as a ransom for Christians who were imprisoned by the Moors. This icon represents the great love of the Blessed Mother for her children, which is also seen in how she accepted the fate of her only son to die for the salvation of sins.
Made in Italy, these beautifully designed laminated prayer cards are inspiring and sturdy. They can be purchased as singles or in packs of 25 for a bulk discount.
Prayer to Our Lady, Mother of Mercy:
Blessed Virgin Mary, who can worthily repay you with praise and thanks for having rescued a fallen world by your generous consent! Receive our gratitude, and by your prayers obtain the pardon of our sins. Take our prayers into the sanctuary of heaven and enable them to make our peace with God. Holy Mary, help the miserable, strengthen the discouraged, comfort the sorrowful, pray for your people, plead for the clergy, intercede for all women consecrated to God.
May all who venerate you feel now your help and protection. Be ready to help us when we pray, and bring back to us the answers to our prayers. Make it your continual concern to pray for the people of God, for you were blessed by God and were made worthy to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns forever. Amen.
Saint Augustine of Hippo
