Share your faith with this beautiful holy card! The 2½"x4¼" holy card features a stunning image of the Mother of Mercy with a quote on the back.

The subject of this image, Mary as Mother of Mercy (Mater Misericordiae), enfolding Christians under her mantle of protection, is a favorite of iconographers and painters throughout Church history, and was especially popular in the late middle ages and early renaissance periods. Also known as Our Lady of Ransom in some places, this image is often used and promoted by the Mercedarian Order, whose official title is the Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives.

Text:
Bajo tu manto,
oh Madre de la Iglesia,
refugio en nuestras tribulaciones
y provisión para nuestras necesidades.

Por tu ejemplo,
Oh Modelo para todos los cristianos,
inspira a tus hijos, los clérigos
y todos tu hijos fieles,
para que busquemos la verdad y la salvación
en tu Hijo, Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Amen.
