This devotion to "Mary, Who Unties Knots" was initiated by Archbishop Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, who brought copies of the painting back to Argentina after first seeing it in Germany.

This pamphlet will place in your hands a series of mediations that can serve as a novena to Saint Gerard that can be accomplished in a single day of prayer, or spread over nine days or nine months...
