Years ago while visiting a local monastery gift shop, I discovered a find. A prayer card, Mary Undoer of Knots. Although I'm not Catholic, Mother Mary has had a special place in my heart since I first began my spiritual journey in the early 90's. I love the imagery of Mary and her angels untying the knots in the ribbon of my life.
The card read:
"With God all things are possible." (Luke 1:37)
Prayer to Our Mother Undoer of Knots
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 exists
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
these knots (mention here) into your maternal hands this day, beg you
to undo it for the glory of God, once and for all, in the name of your
Divine Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Mary, Undoer of knots, pray for us.
Mary the Queen of Angels belongs not only to certain Judeo-Christians, but to all God's people. She is the celebration of all human cultures steeped in faith. Since praying this healing prayer, I've found more peace by handing over my cherished knots, and watching them unwind in a gentle loving way.
Love and joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
