“The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience; what the virgin Eve bound through her unbelief, the Virgin Mary loosened by her faith.”

-Lumen Gentium, 56 (quoting St. Irenaeus)

Today’s Reflection:

This is one of the most profound quotes about our dearest Mother, painting a vivid illustration of how critical Mary’s role in salvation is- through her obedience, she broke apart the knot caused by Eve’s disobedience. Her perfect faith unbound the chains of Eve’s fear and disbelief. Today, ask Mother to intercede for you, praying that our precious Father will loosen the knots of fear and worry in your heart. What is He calling you to trust Him with today?
