Novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots – Day 5
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:
“Mother, Undoer of Knots, generous and compassionate, we come to You today to once again entrust this knot…in the lives of our holy priests to you and to ask the divine wisdom to undo, under the light of the Holy Spirit, this snarl of problems. No one ever saw you angry; to the contrary, your words were so charged with sweetness that the Holy Spirit was manifested on your lips. Take away from them the bitterness, anger and hatred which this knot has caused them. Give them, o dearest Mother, some of the sweetness and wisdom that is all silently reflected in your heart. And just as you were present at Pentecost, ask Jesus to send them a new presence of the Holy Spirit at this moment in their lives. Holy Spirit, come upon them!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for our Holy Priests.
Mary, with God, is powerful.”
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!
