Prayer to Mary, Undoer of Knots ♥♥♥
Mother of love, we look to you. Take into your hands, the ribbon of our life, and see the snarl of knots that keeps us bound to sin, anxiety, and weakness. We beg you, Mother, by your powerful intercession, and long fingers of love and grace, undo the knots in our heart and in our life. Free us to love as Christ loves. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us. Amen.

A time to grieve for two North Carolina Corrections Officers as they were both killed in a failed escape attempt at the prison. May my thoughts and prayers be with the families of both of them as both families mourn the loss of these two officers who killed in the line of duty. They will not be forgotten at all. There names will go on the walls in both Raleigh and in Washington, DC as of next May.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Animals will do things that normal decent human being won't. It's especially disturbing when those actions bring about the death of good people.
Officer Smith, thank you for your service and God Bless you for that service and your sacrifice on behalf of all the good people in this world who need protection from the not so good.
Rest in Peace, Brother.
