earth wisdom of chinua achebe

when suffering knocks at your door and
you say there is no seat for him,
 he tells you not to worry
because he has brought his own stool.

prayer of unravelling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

"There's something to be said
            for stabbing people in the front
                 in a town
                      where everybody goes around all day
                            stabbing each other in the back."
