We want to be saved from poverty, but not from our greed.
There is a moment in the night—usually around 3:00 AM—when the silence feels heavy. Not empty, but occupied . The house settles, the wind hums, and suddenly, the fears you managed to silence with daylight come roaring back. It might be a memory of something you did. It might be a dread of something coming. Or it might be a nameless weight, a feeling that something is simply... wrong .
We want God to deliver us from the enemy, but we refuse to be delivered from our hatred of the enemy.
We want to be protected from liars, but not from our own self-deception.
Because until we are delivered from the evil within, no wall we build will ever be high enough to keep the evil out.
In those moments, words from an ancient prayer often surface: Libranos del mal .
Que seamos librados. Hoy y siempre. (May we be delivered. Today and forever.) Libranos del Mal isn’t a magic spell. It’s a surrender. It’s the admission that the fight against evil begins not with conquering the world, but with naming the darkness inside your own room. And then, in the bravest move of all, asking for the Light to come in.
The Three Faces of Evil When we pray “Libranos del mal,” what exactly are we asking to be delivered from?
