For Those Who do not Believe in God


Thank you, God, for the gift of this novena to help untie the knots that entangle us in confusion, frustration, and sin.


Thank you Blessed Mother for your powerful intercession in our lives!



The Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen


Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins, because of Your just punishments, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen


Preparation Prayer

O Blessed Mother, who in submission to God, lived a life of humility and service, visit me with your grace. Through your intercession, instill in my heart a love for all members of the human family, especially those whom I have the most trouble loving and those whom I have the most trouble serving. Pray with me now, beautiful intercessor, and with your grace, help me to untie the knots that bind your children on Earth. Through prayer and service to others, may I live according to your example, and be brought ever closer to your Son, Jesus.


Scripture Reading

Job 12:7-10

But ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being.  (NRSV-CE)


Intention

Blessed Virgin Mary, who through your faith and obedience loosed the knot tied for the human race by Eve's sin, remember now God's children who do not believe in your Son and what He has done for them. Examine the knots of pride, arrogance, bitterness, and cynicism that keep unbelievers from seeing God, and together with Saint Thomas the Apostle, undo these knots, opening their eyes to faith. Let your grace warm and soften their hearts and open their ears to hear the Gospel.


Lastly, Mother, show me where I have lacked compassion or understanding of these poor souls, and lend me your humility toward them, for I too am wounded by unbelief.


Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.


Concluding Prayer

Powerful Mother who unties our knots, hear these prayers and the prayers of all the faithful. Intercede for my brothers and sisters, and with your influence, loosen the entanglements and knots which hold them captive. Forgive the human race for its unbelief and lead us all to faith in your Son, Jesus Christ the Lord.


Last of all, most Blessed Virgin, pray for me, who is most in need of your grace and mercy. Untie the knots in my own heart and in my own life, and free me to love as Christ loves.


In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.


Amen.
