Novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots (Day 1)
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Prayer to Our Lady, Undoer of Knots (Closing Prayer)
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 me and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life.
You know very well how desperate I am, my pain and how I am bound by these knots.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of His children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life.
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 My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot (mention your request here) I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all, You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution and with Christ the freedom from my chains.
Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me (10x)
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Day 5: Monday of the First Week of Lent
Theme: Judgment, Charity, and the Presence of Christ in Others
Scripture: Matthew 25:40 – “As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.”
Invocation of the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, open my eyes to recognise Christ in others and enlarge my heart in charity.
Meditation
Lord, You identify Yourself with the hungry, the stranger, the poor, and the forgotten. You make love of neighbour the measure of love of God. Lent therefore tests not only my prayer life but my charity. It is possible to seek You in devotion yet overlook You in people. You show me that holiness is not abstract; it is expressed in concrete love. Every person I meet carries dignity and a hidden encounter with You. When I ignore others, I risk ignoring You. When I serve them, I serve You. Teach me to see beyond convenience and comfort. Form in me a heart attentive to the suffering, patient with the difficult, and generous without calculation. In loving others, I am being shaped into Your likeness.
Petition
Father, free me from indifference. Give me a charitable heart that responds to need, not only when it is easy but when it is costly.
Resolution
Today I will perform one deliberate act of charity, listening ear, time, assistance, or
encouragement, especially toward someone I might normally overlook.
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus, You came as one who serves and not to be served. Make my heart like Yours. May my Lenten journey be marked by real love for real people, and through this charity draw me closer to You. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.)
Friends, I wish to invite you, in this sacred season of lent, to join us as we turn to Our Lady, the Undoer of Knots, who patiently loosens what sin, fear, confusion, and delay have tightened in our lives.
Whatever the knot may be, spiritual dryness, family tension, delayed answers, emotional burdens, hidden struggles, bring it. Lent is not only about giving things up; it is about allowing grace to untie what has held us bound.
“Nothing is impossible for God.” This novena is an act of surrender. An act of trust. An act of hope.
Join us live via IG @ fr_james_an and all Faith-Chat Platforms.
Come with your intentions.
Leave with peace !
Mary, Undoer of Knots, Pray for us 🙏🏽

Day 4: Saturday after Ash Wednesday
Theme: Called to Conversion and Mercy
Scripture: Luke 5:31–32 – “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Invocation of the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, healer of souls, reveal my need for grace and lead me to the mercy of Christ.
Meditation
Lord, You come not for the perfect but for the willing. You do not avoid my wounds; You enter them. Yet pride often makes me hide my need for healing. I compare myself with others and forget to compare my heart with Your holiness. Lent exposes the truth: I am a sinner in need of mercy, and this is not despair but hope, because You are a merciful Saviour. Conversion begins when I stop defending my faults and start surrendering them. You sit at table with
sinners, not to excuse sin but to restore the sinner. Teach me humility to admit where I need healing and trust to bring it to You. Repentance is not rejection but return, not fear but encounter with mercy.
Petition
Father, give me the grace of honest repentance. Remove defensiveness and self-justification from my heart. Help me to desire healing more than appearances.
Resolution
Today I will make a brief but sincere examination of conscience and ask forgiveness from God or from someone I have wronged.
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus, physician of my soul, I come to You as I am. Heal what is wounded, correct what is disordered, and restore what is weak. May this Lent draw me into the freedom of being forgiven and renewed by Your mercy. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.)
Day 2 – Thursday after Ash Wednesday
Theme: Choosing the Way of Life
Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:19 – “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live.”
Invocation of the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, giver of wisdom and courage, enlighten my mind and strengthen my will, that I may choose what leads to life.
Meditation
Lord, yesterday You reminded me of my mortality; today You remind me of my responsibility. My life is shaped by choices, daily, quiet, and often unnoticed decisions that either lead me toward You or away from You. You place before me life and death, not as a threat but as a truth. Sin promises freedom but narrows the soul; obedience seems demanding but enlarges the heart. Lent teaches me that discipleship is not accidental. To follow You is to choose You repeatedly in thoughts, words, priorities, and actions. Teach me to recognise the paths that drain my spiritual life and the ones that nourish it. Help me to see that every loving choice, however small, is a step toward life in You.
Petition
Father, grant me discernment to recognise what leads me away from You. Give me the grace to prefer what is right over what is easy, and what is eternal over what is immediate.
Resolution
Today I will consciously choose one act of obedience to God’s will – whether in charity, self-denial, or prayer – especially when it is inconvenient.
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Keep me from paths that lead to emptiness. Form in me a heart that chooses life, truth, and love. May every decision today draw me closer to Your will and Your kingdom. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.)
