During his studies in Germany Pope Francis encountered a local devotion centred on an image of Our Lady in the Church of St Peter in Augsburg. Many had come to pray with seemingly irresolvable family and marriage problems and had been helped. On his return to Argentina he set about spreading this devotion and its novena. But what are these knots? There are the problems and struggles we face for which we do not see any solution...
knots of discord in your family lack of understanding between parents and children disrespect violence the knots of deep hurts between husband and wife the absence of peace and joy at home. There are also the knots of anguish and despair of separated couples the dissolution of the family the knots of a drug addict son or daughter sick or separated from home or God knots of alcoholism the practice of abortion depression unemployment fear solitude...
