This Is Why Mary, Undoer of Knots, Is So Powerful – The Secret Hidden in the Painting
Why is Mary, Undoer of Knots, so powerful? Behind this painting in Augsburg, Germany, lies a true story: a marriage on the verge of breaking apart, a wedding ribbon untied knot by knot before the Virgin, and an image forgotten for nearly three hundred years, until a young Argentine Jesuit, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, carried it to the whole world.
In this video we uncover the hidden meaning of the painting of Mary, Undoer of Knots (Maria Knotenlöserin), the detail almost no one notices and, above all, the real “why” behind this devotion: a sentence written by Saint Irenaeus of Lyon 1,800 years ago, which the Church took up again at the Second Vatican Council.
🙏 NOVENA TO MARY, UNDOER OF KNOTS
Nine days of prayer to place your most difficult knot in Mary’s hands:
Write “Mary, untie my knot” in the comments, and take a moment to pray for whoever wrote it before you.
