Adorn a shelf, mantle, or bedside table with this high-quality, glossy wood 6"x8" arched diptych. Incorporating a beautiful image and prayer, this durable diptych is a unique and perfect gift for any occasion!

The image you see here is of the original "Mary, Undoer of Knots," a once obscure, 300 year-old painting that has become the fastest growing Marian devotion in the world today. Known in her German homeland as "Maria Knotenlöserin," this beautiful sacred image by Catholic master painter Johann Schmidtner was inspired by a real German family's story of marital disunity, struggle, intercession, and powerful reconciliation. Discovered and then expanded into a Marian devotion in the 1980's by then-Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio, "Mary, Undoer of Knots" is a favorite devotion of Pope Francis himself, and continues to spread throughout the world due to his influence. Our image of the original "Mary, Undoer of Knots" has undergone professional digital restoration to remove the effects of 300 years of aging and candle-smoke.

Text:
Mother of fair love, I look to you.

Take into your hands the ribbon of my life
And see the snarl of knots that keeps me bound
To sin, anxiety, and hopelessness.

I beg you, Mother, by your powerful intercession,
And long fingers of love and grace,
undo the knots in my heart and in my life.
Free me to love as Christ loves.

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
