Novena to Mary Undoer of Knots

[ZellieFan]

I hope this isn’t too much of a scrupulous question but saying 5 decades of the rosary is incorporated in the Undoer of Knots novena. However you don’t say the intro or concluding prayers (creed, our Father, 3 hail Mary’s, glory be, hail holy queen). Does this novena count as a daily rosary without the other prayers? I’m thinking about doing a perpetual novena to our lady under this title using the novena. I want to do it correctly. However it would be a great way to get in the rosary as well, if it counts.

Both rosary and the novena are private devotions and therefore there is leeway with adaptations that may have to be made because of one’s individual situation. Time constraints being one example.

Make your focus the desire to pray and join your prayers with the saints and the church. God is not a accountant, “counting” your prayers as valid or not.

The instructions are not meant to mean that you leave out the other parts of the rosary, you still pray all the other parts of the rosary in the normal places - just pray the extra prayers where it says to. It is assumed,by the ones writing the instructions, that you already know how to pray the rosary.

I’m not sure that’s true. I have other rosary novenas that spell it out…I just want to pray the novena correctly
