Day 2 Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots

Reflection

On this second day of the Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots, we ask the Blessed Virgin to intercede with Christ for us, that we may abandon our sinful life and take up the virtues that help us to grow in the image and likeness of God.

Begin the Novena with the following:
1. Make the sign of the cross 
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 you. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell. But most of all, because I offended you, oh my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your 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 (to be posted each day)

Meditation for Day 2

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.

5. Pray the last 2 decades of the rosary
6. Finish each day of the Novena with the closing prayer to Our Lady Undoer of knots and end with the sign of the cross

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.
