My friend Hallie Lord asked us to pray for her friend, whose marriage is in serious trouble. The friend has a blog which I’m not familiar with, but when I went to check it out, I was bowled over by this post, A Blanket Apology, which I know will speak to many of you guys in its heartbreaking humility.

The author, Kate, says in a post today: “If you are moved to, please consider joining me in fasting and prayer for my marriage tomorrow, the last day of the novena I mentioned in my last post.” She has given her husband until the end of January to decide whether he wants to reconcile with her and their children.

Here is the novena to Mary, Untier of Knots. Let’s join Kate in saying the main prayer of the novena at least for this day. Thank you!

Prayer to the Virgin Mary as Untier of KnotsHoly 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, and evil

never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then

you have interceded for all of our difficulties as you did

at the wedding feast of Cana. With all simplicity and with

patience, you have given us an example of how to untangle

the 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

into your hands (here mention your prayer request) and

deliver us from the chains and confusion that restrain us.

Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession

and by your example, deliver us from evil, and untie the

knots that keep us from being united to God. So that free

of all confusion and error, we may find him in all things,

keep him in our hearts, and serve him always in our

brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us.

Amen.
