Our Lady Undoer of Knots

Our prayer intention for Ryan and Heather: 

"May they live long, blessed lives together. 

May their love grow stronger each and every day. 

May they build a family rooted in faith and unconditional love."  

Make the Sign of the Cross

Pray the Act of Contrition

Preparation Prayer                                             

O Blessed Mother, who in submission to God,

 lived a life of humility and service, visit me with your grace.

Through your intercession, instill in my heart

a love for all members of the human family,

Especially those whom I have the most trouble loving 

and those whom I have the most trouble serving.

Pray with me now, beautiful intercessor, and with your grace,

help me to untie the knots that bind your children on Earth.

Through prayer and service to others, 

May I live according to your example 

and be brought ever closer to your Son, Jesus.

Second Day

Praying for those with addictions

1 Corinthians 10:13

"No trial has come to you but what is human.  God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."

Daily Intention

Mother of love, intercessor for your children, hear the cries of those who are addicted to harmful ways and things.  Take into your hands the hearts of these, the most desperate of your children, and together with Saint Maximillian, loose the knots of addiction and snarls of enslavement that have bound and captivated poor souls for too long.  Seal with grace those freed from addictions, and by the grace of God, enshrine them in holiness that they may never turn again to that whicfh held them captive.  

Lastly, Mother, help me to love those with addictions.  Do not let me resent the addicted or grow hopeless in offering my hand in help.

Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be   

Concluding Prayer

Powerful Mother who unties our knots,

hear these prayers and the prayers of all the faithful.

Intercede for my brothers and sisters, and with your influence,

loose the entanglements and knots which hold them captive.

  

Forgive the human race for its unbelief 

and lead us all to faith in your Son, Jesus Christ the Lord.

Last of all, most Blessed Virgin, pray for me,

who is most in need of your grace and mercy.

Untie the knots in my own heart and in my own life, 

and free me to love as Christ loves.

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
