MARY, UNDOER OF KNOTS

Posted by Tim

Novena's were not part of my Catholic upbringing. Not sure why. They just weren't. 

And while I've read and prayed some novenas, at least partially, I never really felt the need to stay with any particular one. 

However, this one was different, so I'd like to share it with you in case you are not familiar with it. 

I think it was the image of a "knot" that caught my attention. 

We are in a time in our local church when things simply cannot be undone. And for many of us, the inability to undo things is also personal. 

Perhaps, during our Year of Reparation, a devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots should be encouraged. 

I'm on Day 5, myself :)

KIKO, HON, AND SACRILEGE

Always United--and Obstacles of Kikoism) 

A priest friend of mine in the States is one of the exorcists in his diocese, and not long ago in a conversation, I asked him about a story I’d heard that the demons are in fact TERRIFIED by the Blessed Mother. “Oh yes, “ Father said, “you wouldn’t believe the reaction. In fact, one of the practical ways you can tell a person isn’t possessed is if they blaspheme or insult the Blessed Mother. Only a deranged person or someone who hates the Faith or willingly under the evil one’s inspiration does that. The demons won’t. They’re too afraid of her and her purity.”

With that in mind, Diana’s new disclosure [see below] that the Kiko teaches that Marian devotion is intrinsically not Christ-centered and therefore idolatrous in some way should give us a whole new breath of life. It’s the same Protestant spiritual feces that’s been hurled at the Blessed Mother and those who stand under her loving protection for the last 500 years. I for one won’t let this go, and neither should anyone else. I have been asked to be patient about the liturgy and all that. But on the Mother of God, we will not bend. 

HOW CATHOLICS "PRAY" TO MARY

In today's Opinion section of the PDN, Diane tells us that Catholics shouldn't pray to Mary. I shared a reply. View the letter and my reply here.
