Spring Series - Marian Titles: Mary, Undoer of Knots

The title Mary, Undoer of Knots originated from the Marian intercession of a German couple on the brink of divorce. Wolfgang, the husband of Sophie, prayer went to their priest Father Rem to pray with him to the Virgin Mary. During this time of prayer, Father Rem took their wedding ribbon, lifted up and began to untie it while praying with Wolfgang in front of a painting of the Virgin Mary. As Father Rem smoothed out the untied knot, it became intensely white and due to this happening, Wolfgang and Sophie were able to avoid divorce. Pope Francis called upon Mary, Undoer of Knots during his global Rosary to end the pandemic. We can pray the novena of Mary, Undoer of Knots whenever there are knots, tangles, or problems in our spiritual life or relationships that we cannot undo or fix on our own. Mary notices the knots in our lives and desires to help us undo them.
