MEDITATIONS:
First Day: Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, you undo the knots
that suffocate your children, extend your merciful hands to me. I
entrust to You today this knot...and all the negative consequences
that it provokes in my life. I give you this knot that torments me
and makes me unhappy and so impedes me from uniting myself to You
and Your Son Jesus, my Savior. I run to You, Mary, Undoer of Knots
because I trust you and I know that you never despise a sinning
child who comes to ask you for help. I believe that you can undo
this knot because Jesus grants you everything. I believe that you
undo this knot because you are my Mother. I believe than You will do
this because you love me with eternal love. Thank you, Dear Mother,
Mary the Undoer of Knots, pray for me. The one who seeks grace,
finds it in Mary's hands.

Second Day: Mary, Beloved Mother, channel of all grace, I return to
You today my heart, recognizing that I am a sinner in need of your
help. Many times I lose the graces you grant me because of my sins
of egoism, pride, rancor and my lack of generosity and humility. I
turn to You today Mary, Undoer of Knots, for You to ask your Son
Jesus to grant me a pure, divested, humble and trusting heart. I
will live today practicing these virtues and offering you this as a
sign of my love for You. I entrust into Your hands this knot
(....describe) which keeps me from reflecting the glory of God.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Mary offered all the moments of
her day to God.

Third Day: Mediating Mother, Queen of Heaven, in whose hands the
treasures of the King are found, turn your merciful eyes upon me
today. I entrust into your holy hands this knot in my life....and
all the rancor and resentment it has caused in me. I ask Your
forgiveness, God the Father, for my sin. Help me now to forgive all
the persons who consciously or unconsciously provoked this knot.
Give me, also, the grace to forgive me for having provoked this
knot. Only in this way can You undo it. Before You, dearest Mother,
and in the name of Your Son Jesus, my Savior, who has suffered so
many offenses, having been granted forgiveness, I now forgive these
persons....and myself, forever. Thank you, Mary, Undoer of Knots for
undoing the knot of rancor in my heart and the knot which I now
present to you. Amen. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Turn to
Mary, you who desire grace.

Fourth Day: Dearest Holy Mother, you are generous with all who seek
you, have mercy on me. I entrust into your hands this knot which
robs the peace of my heart, paralyzes my soul and keeps me from
going to my Lord and serving Him with my life. Undo this knot in my
life...., O Mother, and ask Jesus to heal my paralytic faith which
gets down hearted with the stones on the road. Along with you,
dearest Mother, may I see these stones as friends. Not murmuring
against them anymore but giving endless thanks for them, may I smile
trustingly in your power. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Mary
is the Sun and no one is deprived of her.

Fifth Day: Mother, Undoer of Knots, generous and compassionate, I
come to You today to once again entrust this knot....in my life 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 me the
bitterness, anger and hatred which this knot has caused me. Give me,
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 me a new presence of the Holy Spirit at
this moment in my life. Holy Spirit, come upon me! Mary, Undoer of
Knots, pray for me. Mary, with God, is powerful.

Sixth Day: Queen of Mercy, I entrust to you this knot in my
life.....and I ask you to give me a heart that is patient until you
undo it. Teach me to persevere in the living word of Jesus, in the
Eucharist, the Sacrament of Confession; stay with me and prepare my
heart to celebrate with the angels the grace that will be granted to
me. Amen! Alleluia! Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. You are
beautiful, Mary, and there is no stain of sin.

Seventh Day: Mother Most Pure, I come to You today to beg you to
undo this knot in my life....and free me from the snares of Evil.
God has granted you great power over all the demons. I renounce all
of them today, every connection I have had with them and I proclaim
Jesus as my one and only Lord and Savior. Mary, Undoer of Knots,
crush the Evil One's head and destroy the traps he has set for me by
this knot. Thank you, dearest Mother. Most Precious Blood of Jesus,
free me! Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. You are the glory of
Jerusalem, the joy of our people.

Eight Day: Virgin Mother of God, overflowing with mercy, have mercy
on your child and undo this knot...in my life. I need your visit to
my life, like you visited Isabel. Bring me Jesus, bring me the Holy
Spirit. Teach me to practice the virtues of courage, joyfulness,
humility and faith, and like Isabel, to be filled with the Holy
Spirit. Make me joyfully rest on your bosom, Mary. I consecrate you
as my mother, Queen and friend. I give you my heart and everything I
have (my home and family, my material and spiritual goods). I am
yours forever. Put your heart in me so that I can do everything
Jesus tells me. Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me. Let us go,
therefore, full of trust, to the throne of grace.

Ninth Day: Most Holy Mary, our Advocate, Undoer of Knots, I come
today to thank you for undoing this knot in my life.....You know
very well the suffering it has caused me. Thank you for coming,
Mother, with your long fingers of mercy to dry the tears in my eyes;
you receive me in your arms and make it possible for me to receive
once again the divine grace. Mary, Undoer of Knots, dearest Mother,
I thank you for undoing the knots in my life. Wrap me in your mantle
of love, keep me under your protections, enlighten me with your
peace! Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.

Chaplet Prayer.

Holy Mary, full of the presence of God during your life you accepted
with great humility the Holy Will of the Father and the legacy of
your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ. Evil never dared to entangle you
with its confusion. Since then you have interceded for all of our
difficulties. With all simplicity and patience you have given us
example on how to untangle of knots in our complicated lives. By
being our Mother forever, you arrange and make clear the path that
unites us to Our Lord.

Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart untie
the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive in your hands
(mention who or prayer request) and deliver us from the chains and
confusions that have us restrained. Blessed Virgin Mary, through
your grace, your intercession and by your example, deliver us from
evil and untie the knots that keep us from uniting with God, so that
once free of every confusion and error, we may find Him in all
things, have Him in our hearts and serve Him always in our brothers
and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us. Amen.
