Mary, Undoer of Knots

Prayer to Mary, Undoer of Knots
Holy Mother, Undoer of Knots, may the unknotted cords of your wisdom free me from the knotted confusions of my mind, so I am rendered harmless and move in the world with clarity of mind and kindness of heart.

Our Lady Undoer of Knots

As a student in Germany Pope Francis saw the painting of Mary Undoer of Knots by Schmidtner. Moved by the symbolism in the painting he promoted her veneration. Mary is usually shown as the Queen of Heaven, a crown of twelve stars surrounds her head with the Holy Spirit as the Dove above her, standing on a knotted serpent and a new moon. Angels pass the knotted troubles of humanity to her to untie.
