Sinopsis

For over 800 years, the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy—also known as the Mercedarians—has served as a model of Jesus Christ to the world. Prepared to lay down their lives so that captives may go free, the Mercedarians have gone from ransoming Christian prisoners from Muslim captors to freeing people from modern-day captivities of sin and vice.
