The '''Memorial of Our Lady of Mercy''', also known as Our Lady of Ransom, is a [[memorial]] in the [[Roman Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]] that honors the Virgin Mary as the merciful redeemer of captives, reflecting her intercessory role in liberating souls from sin and suffering. Celebrated on September 24, it commemorates the apparition of Mary to Saint Peter Nolasco in 1218, inspiring the foundation of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy (Mercedarians) dedicated to ransoming Christian prisoners from Muslim captors during the Reconquista. According to the [[General Roman Calendar]], this optional observance falls in [[Ordinary Time]], encouraging the faithful to invoke Mary's compassion amid the [[liturgical year]]'s call to mercy.
