Every time we pray the Our Father, we are imploring God to keep us safe and free from harm. This week, there has been an expansion of evil against life. Be not afraid. Our Heavenly Father is with us and He will deliver us from evil.
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations, I appointed you. But do you gird your loins; stand up and tell them all that I command of you. Be not crushed on their account, as though I would leave you crushed before them; for it is I this day who have made you a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of brass, against the whole land: against Judah's kings and princes, against its priests and people. They will fight against you but not prevail over you, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord." Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19
O Mary, Undoer of Knots, you are our most powerful intercessor. Come and undo the knot of abortion and the knots of evil in our midst. Take the ribbon of our lives, undo the knots and make the ribbon smooth. O Mary, we trust in your tender mercy and maternal care and we ask you to protect our families, bring our prayers to the Father that He will deliver us from evil.
I will put enmities between you (satan) and the woman, and your seed and her seed; she shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15
A few years ago, a little child was sharing with me something that a classmate did which upset her. I gave her a prayer card with a picture of Mary Undoer of Knots. I told her to look at Mary and how she takes the knots of the ribbon and she makes the ribbon smooth. This little one loves ribbons! I told her that she could give Mary this problem with her classmate and Mary will help her. Mary will undo the knots and make the ribbon smooth for her. She loved it, smiled and held onto the prayer card. Mary Undoer of Knots, will do the same for you.
In reparation for sin, especially the sins against life, spend time in Eucharistic adoration and offer Holy Hours. Pray the Rosary daily and let the heel of our Mother Mary crush the enemy. Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily "in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." Fast, sacrifice, make little offerings and witness peacefully for life. Pray the Our Father daily for the undoing of evil in our country and our world. As we place our prayers and offerings into the hands of Mary, Undoer of Knots, she will entrust them to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, pray for us!
