Novena to Mary Undoer of Knots: Bring Your Troubles to Her

September 19, 2026: Have you ever had a problem that seemed impossible to untangle? You may have tried to solve it, talked about it, waited for things to change, and yet the situation remains the same. Some struggles can feel like knots that just keep getting tighter.

This is where the Novena to Mary Undoer of Knots can become a special prayer for you.

What are the “knots” in your life?

The devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots invites us to bring the difficulties, worries and situations that trouble us and place them in prayer through Mary’s intercession.

A knot can be anything that leaves you feeling stuck or unable to find a way forward. It could be a difficult situation, a personal struggle, a troubled relationship or a concern that has been weighing on your heart.

You do not have to know how to solve everything before you pray. You can simply bring your particular intention to Mary and ask her to intercede for you before her Son, Jesus Christ.

Why turn to Mary?

Mary has a special place in the life of the Church as the mother of Jesus and a mother who leads us towards him. The devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots reminds us that we can turn to her with the situations that seem too complicated for us to handle alone.

The image of a knot is powerful because we all know how frustrating a tangled thread can be. Pulling at it impatiently can make it worse. Sometimes it needs patience and care before it can slowly be loosened.

Our lives can be like that too.

Through this novena, you are invited to place your “knots” before God and seek Mary’s loving intercession. Day after day, you can return to prayer with the same intention, trusting the situation to God.

Bring what is weighing on your heart

You do not need perfect words. You do not need to pretend that everything is fine.

Simply bring your concern to prayer.

The Novena to Mary Undoer of Knots gives you nine days to pause, pray and place your intentions before God through Mary’s intercession. Whether you are carrying a long-standing difficulty or a situation that has only recently become a burden, you can bring it to this prayer.

Sometimes, the first step towards peace is simply admitting that we cannot untangle everything by ourselves.

Bring your knots to Mary. Place your worries in prayer and allow these nine days to become a time of trust, hope and surrender.
