THERE ARE KNOTS OF PROBLEMS AND DIFFICULTIES THAT WE HAVE CARRIED WITH US THROUGHOUT ALL OUR LIVES. Mary of Nazareth is of great assistance in undoing these knots.
The knots include family disputes, lack of understanding between parents and children, lack of respect and violence; knots of profound resentments existing between partners, and the lack of peace and joy within families.
Knots of anguish and despair as a result of marital separation, knots brought about by the drug addiction of a child who is sick and who having left home, lives far from the house of God; knots of alcoholism, knots of our own weaknesses and of those whom we love.
Knots of rancor and resentment which affect us, feelings of guilt caused by having had an abortion, illnesses that never heal, knots of depression, unemployment, fear and loneliness. Knots of disbelief and pride, the knots of a life of sin, and knots of sadness.
The knots in our lives weigh us down, keep us far from God, and rob us of the joy in our hearts.
Our Lady Undoer of Knots desires all this to stop. Why not place these knots into Her capable hands so that she can undo them one by one.
NOVENA
Prayer to Our Lady
Undoer of Knots
Virgin Mary, Mother of Fair Love, Mother who never abandons someone in need, Mother whose hands never cease to work for her children, turn your compassionate eyes toward me and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life.
You know just how much despair and pain they cause me.
You know how paralyzed I am by them.
Mary, Mother to whom has been given the charge of undoing the knots in the life of your children, I place the ribbon of my life into your hands.
No-one can take it away from your merciful hands.
Powerful mother, by your intercession with your Son Jesus, receive today this 'knot' [specify it if possible].
I beg you to undo it now and forever for the glory of God.
Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Amen.
