Hello. I am new to this site, and have been looking for this novena. Where can I find it?🙂
 
Posted by Sir Knight: I didn’t get what I asked for but I can honestly say that my prayers were answered.

A lot of wisdom in that sentence, Sir.

I am currently praying a Novena called, “Mary undoer of knots”. Does anyone know about this? It claims to be “infallible”…

Thanks!

by infallible it probably means that mary will intercede and pray unceasingly for you…but ultimately the final decision for whatever your asking for in your prayer lies with god…and if it is not his will for you to have it…then no amount of praying will ever get you it…
your prayers are not wasted though because god uses all prayer even those that seem not answered to help others who are in need of prayer…
it is the same with the divine mercy chaplet…jesus says everything can be obtained through reciting the chaplet…but only if it is his will
it is the same with any prayer you are saying to ask for something…if it is not gods will it will never be granted…and if it is not gods will then maybe we shouldn’t want it either…

ANGELIC PEACE
 
I have prayed the novena several times. Our Blessed Mother Mary Undoer of Knots assured me that She would save our marriage, save our family, and stop the divorce.
She did NOT stop the divorce.
She did NOT save our family.
She did NOT save our marriage.
It is NOT an infallible novena.
Pray it if you wish.
You have my deepest sympathy.
For me, I will find another God.

I’m sorry for your situation. Let me tell you my experience with the novena: I was widowed with a large family of little kids. I re-married a woman who was quite perfectionistic and not perfectly prepared to handle the stress of parenting in a new country as few women (or men) would be. She undoubtedly has many great qualities too but being a new mom to a big family presents huge challenges-especially when the kids are not your own and you didn’t raise them. We also had a child together appx. 12 months after the wedding. I must say there were quite a few very rough moments in our marriage-much acute sorrow and a feeling of being abandoned by Our Lord. I became very worried at one point and felt I had nothing to lose. I prayed the novena. I attribute to Our Lady Untier of Knots to have an intercession before the Throne of God to be very powerful at turning around a nearly impossible situation.
Things improved to an amazing degree. The icing on the cake was her unusually affectionate treatment that she gave me on my birthday telling me REPEATEDLY that she “loved me so so much”

We should all pray for you. You must be going through a terrible moment in your life.
 

Post 26 shows how dangerous claims to being infallible are 😦 - an “infallible” :mad: novena encourages superstition, because it suggests that we can “force the hand” of God or of a Saint (which amounts to forcing God’s hand); & that is not a religious attitude at all; it is a magical one. 😦 It is a **superstitious **attitude. If this prayer is infallible, we do not need to have the right dispositions toward God: so superstition is a very great evil, in every way. When a (supposedly) infallible prayer doesn’t work - people can be shattered :eek:, as that post shows; so such prayers - “charms” is almost a better word - are a cause of scandal as well. The solution ? Get rid of the superstitious element; if need be, by correcting the text.​

Apart from anything else, it is not the attitude of the BVM who called herself “the handmaid of the Lord” - by doing so, she put herself firmly where she belonged: in subjection to God. “Infallible” prayers (try to) put man in charge, & God in subjection to us; which is completely the wrong way round. :mad: 😦 God is not God to serve us; we are to serve Him. How is it loving Him, to make Him do our will (not that we can; but superstition is irreverent enough to try to) ?

If a good thing has been granted as a result of praying the novena, this is nothing to do with its alleged infallibility, but comes from the mercy of God, Who is patient & long-suffering with us, & bears with our superstitions; which is not the same as rewarding them. The faith, hope and love that lead us to pray are rewarded; not the sins (such as superstition) which accompany them.
 
I just started this novena yesterday. I been praying with all my heart. Going through a divorce that I didnt even see coming. I know my sister in law is involved and practices evil doings. I have faith and have faith that this novena will help me, my wife, and two little boys.
 
Hi Riry,

I’m sorry to hear that, I will add you and your family to my prayers. Even when things are at their worst, God is always in charge.
