Mary, Mother of Mercy is the inspiration for this year's scarf collaboration with Everthrift. At the center of this pure silk, ethically made scarf is our Redeemer, the source of Mercy itself. The pelican is an ancient Christian symbol representing Christ, as it was believed that pelicans would wound themselves to feed their young. Thomas Aquinas in his "Adoro Te" addresses the Savior as "Pelican of Mercy."
 
Forget-me-nots are for "Our Lady's Eyes"
Morning glories for "Our Lady's Mantle" which lovingly envelops us
White orchid is our "Lady's Hand of Pity," inviting us to trust in His Mercy
Garden roses, for she is the "Mystical Rose" who is no stranger to beautiful suffering
Cowslip, "Our Lady's Keys," pointing to her role as Mediatrix of All Grace
Lastly, three bright poppies—Crucifixion Blood Drops—pepper the garden grown from the crown of thorns. His Most Precious Blood even sprinkles the petals and foliage, as it is the source, hope, and refuge of poor sinners.
