PostHeaderIcon Solemnity of Saint Raymond Nonnatus


Mercedarians around the world celebrate the solemnity of our most recognized saint: Saint Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of the unborn, Christian families and expectant mothers and midwives. I have a sister and a sister in law that are expecting. St. Raymond, please intercede and ensure all expectant mothers, especially Emily and Christine that they have healthy deliveries without incidences and that the babies are perfectly healthy, holy and live a long life of virtue, pro-life values, saintliness and charity to all people in the catholic faith!

Why does St. Raymond hold the frond/branch with the three crowns? What do the crowns represent?

Representam o seu voto de compromisso, os conselhos apostolicos de obediência, pobreza e a castidade que ele assumiu.
