Monday afternoon, September 28,  we went to the Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA, to participate in the gathering of families from the Neocatechumenal Way. People gathered from all over the world.

Cardinal Sèan O’Mally, OFM Cap., Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop Charles Chaput, OFM Cap., and other bishops gathered with over 20,000 people and families from the Neocatechumenal Way who had participated in the World Meeting of Families.

Kiko Arguello, founder of The Way, proclaimed the Kerygma. After the prayer to the Holy Spirit, there was the vocation call to evangelize China. 

On Monday, September 28, we took the opportunity to visit the  Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the mother church of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. This was also the place of the shrine of Our Lady Undoer of Knots. This was created for the  World Meeting of Families by Mercy Sister Mary. Everyone knows that the Holy Father has a great devotion to Our Lady Undoer of Knots.

In this place, we were given a long strip of paper on which to write intentions, then we tied them to a branch below the image of Our Lady Undoer of Knots. Next we had to untie a petition and take it inside the small grotto next to the image and pray for that intention. We entrusted to Mary many “knots”!
