Mary, Undoer of Knots Prayer

We encounter knots in our lives which appear not to have any solution. But while these snarls of discord disrupt the tranquility of our faithful thoughts, God does not abandon us in our suffering!

It is through reconciliation, perseverance in prayer, and Mother Mary’s merciful intercession on our behalf that we can overcome these obstacles in our own spiritual pilgrimages.

O Virgin Mary, faithful Mother who never refuses

to come to the aid of your children;

Mother whose hands never cease to help,

because they are moved by the loving kindness

that exists in your Immaculate Heart;

Cast your eyes of compassion upon me,

and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life.

You know all the pains and sorrows

caused by these tangled knots.

Mary, my Mother, I entrust to your loving hands

the entire ribbon of my life.

In your hands there is no knot

which cannot be undone.

Most holy Mother,

pray for Divine Assistance to come to my aid.

Take this knot (mention need)

into your maternal hands this day;

I beg you to undo it for the glory of God,

once and for all,

in the name of your divine Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
