Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy
Our Mandala
The Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy (Ireland), in
preparation for the 1994 dedication of Mercy International
Centre, wishes to emphasise their roots in Irish
culture, as well as the complicated rhythms of
daily life.
In this ancient design, life, death, work and play join
in an interlacing pattern which is life's
rhythm.
The sun, represented by the yellow colour, filters
down through the atmosphere and warms the earth.
 In the second mandala:
SPIRAL DESIGN: Culture/people
CORN/WHEAT: Land
ROMANESQUE ARCH: Religion/skill (Rock of Cashel)
SYMBOL MEANS
weak overpowers the strong
good overpowers evil
trust in god and good wins in the end.
