Devotion to Mary

Members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy strive to have a true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our spiritual mother. It is through Mary that Jesus came to us in His Incarnation, and it is through Mary that Jesus continues to come to us in the life of grace. We understand that one of the best ways for us to be transformed in Christ Jesus is for us to go with confidence to His Holy Mother – β€œTo Jesus through Mary.”

In recognition of our need for her as our spiritual mother, members of the Confraternity wear a scapular or medal as a reminder of the maternal protection and intercession of Our Lady. We can choose to wear the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, the Green Scapular of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, or the Miraculous Medal. Whichever scapular or medal that we choose, it will be for the individual member a constant reminder of our holy mother, and through her, of our Lord Jesus.

“What purity can be anywhere found, even amongst the holy angels, comparable to the purity of her who was deemed worthy to be made the living sanctuary of the Holy Spirit and the dwelling of the Son of God?” — St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Christ the King: Lord even in the worst times

Sometimes when we find ourselves living in times of darkness — political and social upheaval, economic uncertainty, loss of our jobs and the means to provide for our families — it can be easy to forget that Jesus Christ is still our King, and that He is ultimately in control. St. Paul tells us that […]

Powerful Spiritual Weapon

The most powerful prayer that we have, after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (which is Christ Jesus’ own sacrifice offered to the Eternal Father) is the Holy Rosary. We might think of the rosary as a series of repetitive prayers, but it is far more than that: it is an introduction into Christian meditation. […]

St. Matthew and unlikely disciples

Many of us probably wonder, “why has the Lord Jesus chosen me to be His disciple? I have lots of baggage; I have so many wounds.” The truth is that many of the Lord’s disciples were like us: they were men and women with a “history,” with scars from wounds inflicted by self and/or by […]
