Incense pouch - the Virgin of Mercy - 15 pcs

A time of prayer to release what burdens the heart

It can be difficult to ask for forgiveness, offer it to another person or free oneself inwardly from past guilt. Lighting an Our Lady of Mercy incense stick marks a deliberate pause in which to entrust the situation through prayer. Its fresh eucalyptus fragrance discreetly accompanies this moment and transforms an ordinary room into a place of reflection.

Natural eucalyptus-scented incense

This illustrated packet contains 15 natural eucalyptus-scented incense sticks. Their fresh aroma creates a light and pleasant atmosphere during prayer, Christian meditation, spiritual reading or a novena.

Each stick is approximately 30 cm long. It can be burned at home, in a prayer corner or chapel, or during a moment devoted to forgiveness and reconciliation.

The symbolism of Our Lady of Mercy

In Christian tradition, Our Lady of Mercy represents Mary compassionately welcoming those who come to her with their wounds, regrets and desire to begin again. Her open mantle symbolises the maternal welcome extended to everyone seeking comfort, forgiveness and hope.

Mercy does not mean denying wrongdoing or suffering. It invites us to face the truth with humility and then move towards reconciliation. This incense can therefore accompany the forgiveness sought from Heaven, offered to another person or gradually extended to oneself.

When should this incense be used?

Place one stick in a stable incense holder, light the tip and gently blow out the flame. You can then express your intention or remain silent for a few moments.

It is particularly suitable for:

• a prayer of forgiveness or reconciliation;
• entrusting a strained family relationship or friendship;
• examination of conscience or preparation for confession;
• a prayerful approach to feelings of guilt;
• praying for renewed confidence and peace;
• a Marian novena;
• the feast of Our Lady of Mercy on 24 September.

Why choose this incense?

The freshness of eucalyptus and the maternal symbolism of the Virgin Mary form a meaningful combination for prayers of forgiveness. This packet is also a comforting religious gift for someone experiencing conflict, regret or a period of personal reflection.
