SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY
«According to the research of this image, we find that the donor Hieronymus Ambrosius Langenmantel, priest and canon law doctor from (1666-1709) of St. Peter am Perlach, had ordered this painting for a family altar, for personal reasons linked to his family.
In the history of this true story, the noble Wolfgang Langenmantel married to Sophie Imoff (1612) and on the verge of a divorce, pays a visit to Jakob Rem J.P. in a monastery and university of Ingolstadt, located seventy kilometers north of Augsburg.
A total of “four” visits were made to this priest in a lapse of “28 days” in where he received advice from this venerable Jesuit priest, a priest already honored for his wisdom, piety, extraordinary intelligence and known for having a Marian apparition in where he compliments Our Lady with the title of “Thrice admirable” ( Mater Ter Admirabilis). The noble was able to achieve changes in his family situation, as the result of prayer and the veneration of the Virgin Mary and in the company of the wise priest.
Consequently on September 28th 1615 and the last day of their prayer, father Rem had been praying before an image of the Virgin Mary under the title of ( Our Lady of the Snows) located in the chapel of the monastery. “In a solemn ritual act”, Father Rem elevates the wedding ribbon untying the knots one by one and smoothing the ribbon out (1), causing the white ribbon to become such an intense bright, that not even the palette of any painter could have reproduced. With this experience the couple was able to avoid a divorce and their marriage was able to continue.
Hieronymus and his grandson decide to donate a family altar, in commemoration of the turn of the century of the year 1700 as was the tradition in St. Peter am Perlach. The Altar piece was dedicated to “The Blessed Virgins of Good Counsel”, in it, is the story of his own family.
The painter, Johann Melchior Georg Schmittdner, depicts the painting as a Virgin Mary who is “untying” the knots of the ribbon of married life, as the worried noble Wolfgang, walks towards the monastery accompanied by the Archangel Raphael.

Prayer to the Virgin Mary as Untier of Knots
Holy Mary, full of the presence of God, during your life
you accepted with great humility the holy will of the father
and the legacy of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and evil
never dared to entangle you with its confusion. Since then
you have interceded for all of our difficulties as you did
at the wedding feast of Cana. With all simplicity and with
patience, you have given us an example of how to untangle
the knots in our complicated lives. By being our mother
forever you arrange and make clear the path that unites us
to Our Lord.
Holy Mary, Mother of God and ours, with your maternal heart,
untie the knots that upset our lives. We ask you to receive
into your hands (here mention your prayer request) and
deliver us from the chains and confusion that restrain us.
Blessed Virgin Mary, through your grace, your intercession
and by your example, deliver us from evil, and untie the
knots that keep us from being united to God. So that free
of all confusion and error, we may find him in all things,
keep him in our hearts, and serve him always in our
brothers and sisters. Mother of Good Counsel pray for us.
Amen.
We begin with our daily prayers, making the Sign of the Cross and praying the Act of Contrition so that God will enter our hearts, and he will brings us near to the Virgin Mary.
The Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for
having offended you, and I detest
all my sins, because of Your just
punishments, but most of all because
they offend You, my God, who are
all-good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of
Your grace, to sin no more and to
avoid the near occasion of sin.
Amen
Blessed Virgin Mary, the one who unties the knots, in marriage, in people and of nations, I offer you this novena
requesting the follo-wing intentions:
(mention here the favors that you wish to obtain)

overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
( Luke 1, 35 )
Brief Reflection:
The Holy Spirit, Third Person of God, overshadowed the womb of the Virgin Mary full of grace, and the power of
the most High was with her so that she would give birth to our savior made man. That is why the Virgin Mary is
blessed and holy. In her, The Son of God inhabited. ¡ Who better than his Mother, to aid us and help us to

Third day:
Bible reading:
« Mary said, “ Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.
“Then the Angel departed from her.” » ( Luke 1, 38 )
Brief Reflection:
The Virgin Mary meekly undergoes the designs of God, alt-hough with certain reservations. ".. How can this beif
I do not know man?…she accepts, with some concerns. How many doubts will we have when we have moved
away from God, and in our mistakes, we have knitted a useless cobweb of knots. Let us give our griefs to the
council of Mary.

Fourth day:
Bible reading:
« 15 When the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the
shepherds said to one another, "Let us go as far as Bethlehem and
see what the Lord has made known to us." 16 So they came
hurriedly and found Mary and Joseph with the baby lying in the
manger. 17 On seeing this they related what they had been told
about the child, 18 and all were astonished on hearing the
shepherds.19 As for Mary, she treasured all these messages
and continually pondered over them.» (Luke 2, 15-19)
Brief Reflection:
They went to Bethlehem, where they found the Child, “The word made flesh", the only Truth. Let us walk through
our desert, that with the guidence of the Archángel Raphael, that we may come closer to Mary Mother of the
Church, and with her to Jesus. Little by little, the knots of error that make us prisoners will be untied.
“The Truth shall set us free”. Let us walk in confidence towards our liberation.”

« 7 Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened. 8 For everyone who
asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds; and the door will be opened to him who knocks. » (Mathew 7, 7-8)
Brief Reflection:
( The Heart of Mary is opened to us, like the door to heaven. We only need to ask for her help and her maternal
arms will open for our tor-tured spirits. In her we will find the solution to our problems, balm for our pain, and
answers to our doubts. Mary our help, intercede for us.)

Sixth day:
Bible reading:
4 Jesus replied, "Woman, your thoughts are not mine! My hour has not yet come." 5 However his mother said to the servants, "Do what-ever he tells you." (John 2, 4-5)
Brief Reflection:
In the wedding feast of Cana , the patient Virgin Mary interce-des for the guest. With this act, she inaugurates her
Mediation between the Son of God and men. The faithful servant of the Lord, is our most humble and maternal
servant, in our afflictions, despairs, tribulations and wrongs doings. She is the Mediatrix of all graces, to which
we commend ourselves in our intricate problems, that with her maternal hands, she will untie the knots that
still imprison us.

Seventh day:
Bible reading:
“ It was now about noon and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.”(Luke 23, 44)
Brief Reflection:
The Father’s will is about to be acomplished; Our Lord Jesus Christ will die on the cross for our salvation, in the
promise of his Resurrec-tion. From the darkness the light will shine to illumine us, freedom from darkness.
We already see our problems with more clarity. Our ties loosen, in the measure in which they conform to the
Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. At this time we are closer to his Mother, the Virgin Mary.

Eighth day:
Bible reading:
« 26 When Jesus saw his Mother, and the disciple whom he loved, he said to his Mother, "Woman,
there is your son." 27 Then he said to the disciple, "There is your mother." And from that moment the
disci-ple took her to his own home. » (John 19, 26-27)
Brief Reflection:
At the moment Jesús went to the Father, he leaves us in the care of his Mother. It is the greatest legacy that Jesús
left to Our Virgin Mary, and when he points out to the disciple he loves, he gives her custody of the whole
humanity. She will be our Advocate, Helper, Benefac-tress, and Mediatrix. The handmaid of the Lord, will
grant us freedom through her intercesión, she will untie the final knots that make us prisoners.

Ninth day:
Bible reading:
« 14 All of these together gave themselves to constant prayer. With them were some women and also Mary,
the mother of Jesus, and his brothers...» and »when the day of Pentecost arrived, all were filled with
the Holy Spirit.» (Acts 1:14 and 2:1-4)
Brief Reflection:
Our Father sends the Holy Spirit on the feast of Pentecost , that will feed us in our faith. This is the same faith
that with Mary’s maternal help, will remove the bonds that keep us prisoners. With the light of the Holy Spirit
we see in meridian clarity which of our anguishes had our spirit trapped. The guidance of Saint Michael the
Archangel has always been certain, Saint Gabriel the Archangel will announce my freedom and Saint Michael
the Archangel, will protect me from any attack. The Evil one (the serpent), overpowered by the presence of Mary,
lies at her feet, made into a useless knot, unable to touch us.
