PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
While he was a student in Germany, Pope Francis saw a painting that deeply touched him. It was of Mary, the Undoer (or Untier) of Knots. The artist, Johann Schmittdner, created his masterpiece around 1700. It depicts Mary holding a ribbon that has several knots coming to her left hand where she unties each knot and the ribbon leaves her right hand, knot free. During this day, we will discuss the history of this devotion, and present our personal knots to Mary.
