Devotion to Mary who unties the knots: the prayer to be said every day
Virgin Mother of God, rich in mercy, have mercy on me, your son and undo the knots (name him if possible….) Of my life. I need you to visit me, as you did with Elizabeth. Bring me Jesus, bring me the Holy Spirit. Teach me courage, joy, humility and like Elizabeth, make me full of the Holy Spirit. I want you to be my mother, my queen and my friend. I give you my heart and all that belongs to me: my home, my family, my external and internal goods. I belong to you forever. Put your heart in me so that I can do everything that Jesus will tell me to do.
Maria who unties the knots, pray for me.

The devotion
Pope Francis, when he was a young Jesuit priest during his theological studies in Germany, saw this representation of the Virgin, being deeply affected by it. Back home, he pledged to spread the cult in Buenos Aires and throughout Argentina. [3] [4] [5]
The cult is now present throughout South America, particularly in Brazil.
An altarpiece due to the artist Marta Maineri, located in the church dedicated to San Giuseppe in the parish of San Francesco d'Assisi in Lainate (Milan), depicts the Madonna undoing the knots.
«The knot of Eve's disobedience had its solution with Mary's obedience; what the virgin Eve had linked with her unbelief, the virgin Mary dissolved it with her faith »
(Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, Adversus Haereses III, 22, 4)
PRAYER
I "Knots" of our lives are all the problems that we bring very often over the years and that we don't know how to solve: the knots of family quarrels, misunderstanding between parents and children, lack of respect, violence; the knots of resentment between spouses, the lack of peace and joy in the family; distress knots; the knots of desperation of the spouses who separate, the knots of the dissolution of families; the pain caused by a child who takes drugs, who is sick, who has left the house or who has left God; the knots of alcoholism, our vices and the vices of those we love, the knots of wounds caused to others; the knots of rancor that torments us painfully, the knots of the feeling of guilt, of abortion, of incurable diseases, of depression, of unemployment, of fears, of loneliness ... knots of unbelief, of pride, of the sins of our lives. The Virgin Mary wants all this to stop. Today she comes to meet us, because we offer these knots and she will untie them one after the other.
