free from knots, to us. Underneath Mary, the worried noble Wolfgang, accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, walks towards a monastery. Pope Francis, then Jorge Bergoglio, saw the painting in person while studying in Germany during a very difficult and dark time of his life. He brought the devotion back with him and introduced it in Argentina. He expressed how this particular image of Mary can help people, by bringing the difficulties of our everyday lives to Our Mother, who looks to unbind the struggles so that we are free to see the presence of her Son working in our lives. Our Lady Untier of Knots is the patroness of personal challenges, family struggles, anxiety and addiction. As in our lives too we feel certain knots which are impossible to untie, at these moments of difficulty let us invoke the assistance of Mary under the title of the Untier of Knots.
