2. Say the Act of Contrition. Ask pardon for your sins and make a firm promise not to commit them again.

“Oh my God I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell. But most of all, because I offended Thee, oh my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen”

3. Say the first 3 decades of the Rosary.

4. Make the meditation of the day:

“Most Holy Mary, our Advocate, Undoer of Knots, we come today to thank you for undoing this knot in the lives of our holy priests…You know very well the suffering it has caused our priests. Thank you for coming, Mother, with your long fingers of mercy to dry the tears in their eyes; you receive them in your arms and make it possible for them to receive once again the divine grace.

Mary, Undoer of Knots, dearest Mother, we thank you for undoing the knots in the lives of our priests. Wrap them in your mantle of love, keep them under your protection, enlighten them with your peace! Amen.

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for our Holy Priests.”

5. Say the last 2 decades of the rosary

6. Finish with the Prayer to Our Lady the Undoer of Knots:“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 exists in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon your holy priests and see the snarl of knots that exist in their lives. You know very well how desperate they are, their pain and how they are bound by these knots. 


Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, we entrust into your hands the ribbon of their lives. 
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 Our Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot…we beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all, You are their hope. 

O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives them, the fortification of their feeble strength, the enrichment of their destitution and with Christ the freedom from their chains. 

Hear our plea for our Holy Priests whom we love so much because they are Christ on earth. 
Keep them, guide them, protect them, o safe refuge!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for them!

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God


Today is the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God (a Holy Day of Obligation). Last night in adoration, Father said to us that we, because of the fall of Adam and Eve, have a fractured relationship with God.  But if we turn to Mary and imitate her, we learn the real way we should be loving, trusting, and adoring God, in a perfect way.  Our New Year resolution is to do just that!  To turn to Mary with all our needs and to watch her more closely as our guide through this journey to Heaven.  She is the perfect example for us so we turn to her in Novenas and prayer devotions.

We just came across this lovely website with a Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots. Who would like to join us in this Novena?  The petition? For the protections of the Holy Priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church and especially all falsely accused priests. Mary has a very strong love for the priesthood, so in her honor on her Feast day, we begin in prayer for one of her favorite group of people.  Will you join us?  {Leave us a comment so we know who is joining us 🙂 }

This is a joint effort, we will be posting the daily Novena to remind you to pray with us for the Holy Priesthood here on Raising Little Saints and on our other blog:  40 Days for Priests.  We will post them at Midnight so that you have it in your “hands” for the entire day and can pray when you normally would.  Make sure you have signed up to receive posts via e-mail, your reader of choice (see the right column), by Twitter (@40Days4Priests) or Facebook.  Also Raising Saints has several ways to keep you posted on things like these.

Thank you for your prayers for the Holy Priesthood!
Blessings to you and your family in 2012!
