Summary: Sermon titled "Founding of the Mercedarians" given on Sunday September 30, 2012. Size: 9.3 MB; duration: 27:04. The founding of Our Lady of Mercy for the Ransom of Captives (slaves of the Muslims). Islam uses a systematic and strategic process of lying (Takia) to engage in Jihad (war vs. all infidels). Three main strategies: live in peace with infidels until Muslims out number "infidels"; defend Jihad; engage in Jihad. Examples of some saints: Sts. Peter Nolasco, Raymond Nonatus and the Vincentians and other Religious orders that ransomed slaves from the Muslims. How do we compare to these?
