Our Lady Who Unties Knots | Maria Als Knotenlöserin | La Virgen La Que Desanta Nudos

To show the special mission granted to the Virgin Mary by her Son, an unknown painter painted 'Mary, Who Unties Knots.' Since 1700, this image has been venerated in the Church of St. Peter am Perlack in Augsburg Germany.

Its inspiration is drawn from St. Irenaeus, 2^nd century bishop and martyr, who wrote, "The knot of Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience; for what Eve bound by her unbelief, Mary loosed by her faith."

Just as you would ask your mother to 'untie' the knots in your shoe laces when you were a child, whatever the 'knots' in your life just now, ask the loving Mother of JESUS to untie them for you!

Prayer to Our Lady Who Unties Knots:

O Mary, my Mother, you know the extent of my sorrow and frustration, because of these 'knots' in my life. O Mary, my Mother, whose obedience to the Will of God, has untied the know of disobedience in so many lives, I place in your loving hands the knotted ribbon of my life and ask that you untie them, according to the Will of God and for the good of my soul!

I ask this in the Name of JESUS, the Holy Child of Nazareth, Who brought the little knots of His life to you to untie. AMEN
