FAITH 101
15 October 2020—Part 1 7:00 p.m.
Presented both in-person and virtually "Mary, Untier of Knots'', also known as "Mary, Undoer of Knots”, is the title of both a seventeenth century Marian devotion and painting. Its theology is rooted in the second century work of Saint Irenaeus, who writes that “the knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by the obedience of Mary.” The novena, which was inspired by the struggles of a young German couple, reveals the effectiveness of prayer addressed to the Blessed Mother, who is both Advocate and Intercessor. Rich in history, it was predominantly known in Germany until sometime in the twentieth century when its popularity grew worldwide. It continues to stir hope, partly due to the influence of Pope Francis who discovered the devotion during his doctoral studies. This presentation will recount the marriage of Wolfgang and Sophie Langenmantel and how through the intercession of the Blessed Mother the knots destroying their marital bond were undone. The novena reminds us that nothing is impossible with God’s mercy!
