Mary Undoer of Knots

To bring more people closer to the heart of Jesus through the hands of Virgin Mary. History/Description: The devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots is more than 300 years old. To show us the mission granted to Virgin Mary by Her Son, an unknown painter in 1700 painted Mary Undoer of Knots with great grace. Since then his painting has been adored in the Church of St. Peter in Perlack, Germany. Its inspiration was the result of St. Irineus’ meditation. He, who in the light of the parallel made by St. Paul between Adam and Christ, created the comparison of Eve and Mary saying: “Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; to the contrary, Mary, by her obedience, undid it”. The painting shows one angel giving Virgin Mary a ribbon full of knots, which represents the ribbon of our life and our problems. Mary interceding for us to Jesus, undo with love and mercy the knots and another angel receives the plain ribbon with no knots, which has been undone by our Holy Mother. The knots are undone with our prayers described in the Novena booklet. The devotion to Mary Undoer of Knots is known in many different countries, and the Novena is translated in 19 languages and Braille. More than 1.3 Million copies were acquired worldwide and has Ecclesiastic approval, receiving the “NIHIL OBSTAT and IMPRIMATUR”.
