This beautiful Marian prayer is recited everyday during the novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots. By presenting the knot that keeps us away from God, we allow our Blessed Mother to slowly undo the knot for us. Even though this prayer is an essential part of the novena initiated by Pope Francis (discover the history of the novena), it can also be recited alone when we need it.
“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 [mention your request here] and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exist in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exists in my life. You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots. Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the evil one himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone. Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot.
[Mention your request here]
I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all. You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains.
Hear my plea.
Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!”
Let Mary heal your hurts and pains through prayer. Hozana has many Marian prayer communities that can give you the comfort you need in times of difficulty. For example, you can pray a novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary where you will reflect on a meditation of St. Maximilian Kolbe who had a great devotion to his Blessed Mother. You can also get to know Mary better with a 30 day consecration where you will receive a Bible passage, a consecration prayer, a reflection and say a decade of the Rosary.
