Order of Divine Mercy (Merveilles du Monde Map Game)

The Order of Divine Mercy (postnominal abbreviation O.D.M) is a mendicant Catholic religious order founded by the German twins Matthias and Catharina von Schwanthaler after they allegedly received a series of visions of Jesus Christ. In these visons, Christ teached the siblings about His infinite mercy. The order was approved by pope Gregory XI in 1314. Membership in the order includes monks and nuns.

The Order was founded to preach the Gospel and to show God's loving mercy towards all people, especially for sinners. The Order is also responsible for various charitable and missionary works. Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint Symeon of Trier are co-patrons of the Order.
