Pope Francis has a deep devotion to Our Lady Undoer of Knots. In the image we see Our Lady untying the knots in a long ribbon. The ribbon is the ribbon our life. On the one side, there are many knots, which represent the many problems we have and the sins that cause them. On the other side, there are no knots. This represents what happens when we turn our lives over to Our Lady. She unties all the knots.
Pope Francis’ Prayer to our Lady Undoer of Knots
Holy Mary, full of God’s presence during the days of your life, you accepted with full humility the Father’s will, and the devil was never capable to tie you around his confusion. Once with your Son you interceded for our difficulties, and full of kindness and patience you gave us example of how to untie the knots of our life.
And by remaining forever our Mother, you put in order, and make more clear the ties that link us to the Lord. Holy Mother, Mother of God, and our Mother, to you, who untie with motherly heart the knots of our life, we pray to receive in your hands (the name of the person), and to free him/her of the knots and confusion with which our enemy attacks. Through your grace, your intercession, and your example, deliver us from all evil, Our Lady, and untie the knots that prevent us from being united with God, so that we, free from sin and error, may find Him in all things, may have hearts placed in Him, and may serve Him always in our brothers and sisters. Amen
