BMV D Mercede

One of the basic requirements for the pilgrimage to Vallarpadam is to have a clean heart achieved through offering of the sacrifice of our Lord everyday for the atonement of everything that we think and do in our human nature that are away from the nature of our Creator. 

The Mercedarians who set up and consecrated the altar at Vallarpadam were even ready to die for the enslaved by taking their place in slavery to set them free. 

Please never forget their state of mind and the requirement of a pure heart on your pilgrim.
