Las familias se han dado cita en todo el mundo para celebrar lo que son y a profundizar su relación con Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios y el Príncipe de la paz y disfrutar de la Divina Misericordia de Dios. En Salmo responsorial de hoy escuchamos, "nuestros ojos están fijos en el Señor, implorando por su misericordia. " Esta es la misericordia que nos permite cometer errores y buscar consuelo en nuestro Señor. Esta es la misericordia que nos buscan cuando pecamos. Cuando nos centramos en el amor y la compasión de Dios-Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, que es muy fácil de buscar la misericordia de Dios. En la aclamación al Evangelio escuchamos, "El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque él me ha enviado para dar la buena noticia a los pobres." es el Espíritu Santo, la tercera persona de la Santísima Trinidad, que nos da el poder de ser auténticos discípulos de Jesucristo. Es el Espíritu Santo que nos permite tomar las enseñanzas de Jesucristo y que los ponen en práctica al llegar a aquellos que los necesitan; para deshacer los nudos de nuestras propias vidas y las vidas de los demás. No tenemos más que echar un vistazo a la Madre de Dios ayuda a vivir una vida cristiana. 214-2
July 5, 2015 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mary, Undoer of Knots, has drawn global adoration and devotion, especially in the time of Pope Francis’s election. The Mother of God miraculously conceived Jesus after being visited by the angel Gabriel who told her she would have a child. As the Mother of God, Mary is loved and honored more than any other Saint, known as the ultimate mother and leader of family. Mary Undoer of Knots is revered for her love and devotion to her son Jesus. She is known for her ability to “undo” the knots, the challenges, in our lives. Her love and compassion for us as the children of God shows us just how much she is the mother of the Holy Family and our Mother. The Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots was inspired by this Icon in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is shown undoing knots. The icon and the devotion can be sourced to the writing of Saint Iranaeus of Lyons, “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosened by the obedience of Mary.”
María, Desatadora de Nudos, ha llamado la adoración mundial y devoción, sobre todo en el momento de la elección del Papa Francisco. La Madre de Dios milagrosamente concibió a Jesús después de haber sido visitada por el ángel Gabriel, quien le dijo que iba a tener un hijo. A medida que la Madre de Dios, María es amado y honrado más que cualquier otro santo, conocida como la madre definitiva y líder de la familia. María Desatadora de nudos es venerado por su amor y devoción a su hijo Jesús. Ella es conocida por su capacidad de "deshacer" los nudos, los desafíos, en nuestras vidas. Su amor y compasión por nosotros como hijos de Dios nos muestra lo mucho que ella es la madre de la Sagrada Familia y Madre nuestra. La Novena a María, Desatadora de nudos se inspiró en este icono en el que la Virgen María se muestra nudos deshacer. El icono y la devoción pueden proceder a la redacción de san Ireneo de Lyon, "El nudo de la desobediencia de Eva fue soltado por la obediencia de María."
Oración Querida Santa Madre, María Santísima, deshacer los nudos que sofocan a sus hijos, extienda sus manos misericordiosas para mí. Me encomiendo a Ti hoy este nudo y todas las consecuencias negativas que provoca en mi vida. Te doy este nudo que me atormenta y me hace infeliz y por lo que me impide unirme a usted y su hijo Jesús, mi Salvador. Corro a Ti, María, Desatadora de Nudos porque confío en usted y sé que Nunca desprecias un niño pecador que viene a pedirte ayuda. Creo que se puede deshacer este nudo porque Jesús le concede todo. Creo que usted desea deshacer este nudo, porque tú eres mi madre. Yo creo que usted va a hacer esto porque me amas con amor eterno. Gracias, Madre querida. María, Desatadora de nudos, ruega por mí. Amén. Prayer Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, You undo the knots that suffocate your children, extend Your merciful hands to me. I entrust to You today this knot and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life. I give You this knot that torments me and makes me unhappy and so impedes me from uniting myself to You and Your Son Jesus, my Savior. I run to You, Mary, Undoer of Knots because I trust You and I know that You never despise a sinning child who comes to ask you for help. I believe that You can undo this knot because Jesus grants You everything. I believe that You want to undo this knot because you are my Mother. I believe that You will do this because you love me with eternal love. Thank you, Dear Mother. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Amen. The family which experiences the joy of faith communicates it naturally. That family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world; it is the leaven of society. Pope Francis, October 27, 2013 La familia que experimenta la alegría de la fe se comunica de forma natural. Esa familia es la sal de la tierra y la luz del mundo; es la levadura de la sociedad. Papa Francisco, 27 de octubre 2013 214-3
