## What is NovenaRD?

Discover the powerful devotion to Mary, Undoer of Knots — a beautiful Catholic prayer app that brings hope, healing, and peace to your daily life.

In 1700, the artist Johann Melchior Georg Schmittdner painted Mary Undoer of Knots with exquisite grace. Venerated in the Church of St. Peter in Augsburg, Germany, this beloved image was inspired by the profound words of St. Irenaeus: “Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience, undid it.”

The knots in our lives are the problems and struggles that seem impossible to solve: discord in the family, hurts between spouses, addiction, depression, unemployment, fear, loneliness, and more. Through the gentle hands of Our Lady, Queen of Mercy, these knots are untied. Families are reconciled, diseases are healed, spouses return to the Church, jobs are found, and conversions abound — all through her powerful intercession.

**Features of the Mary Undoer of Knots App:**

• Stunning full-screen image of Mary Undoer of Knots, optimized for iPhone
• **Complete Nine-Day Novena** with daily specific intentions and deep meditations — beautifully presented with **progress tracking**, day counter, completion checkmarks, and visual advancement through the novena
• Step-by-step “How to Pray” guide
• Daily Meditations for ongoing devotion
• Decade Rosary and Full Rosary prayers tailored to this devotion
• Traditional Closing Prayer
• Powerful Binding Prayer for spiritual warfare — invoking the Name of Jesus, His Precious Blood, and the intercession of Mary and St. Michael
• Custom reminders and notifications to support your novena journey and maintain daily prayer
• Beautiful, reverent, ad-free experience designed purely for prayer

This app is a peaceful, distraction-free companion for anyone seeking the intercession of the Mother of Fair Love. Whether you are praying the novena for the first time or returning daily, Mary Undoer of Knots will help you entrust every knot in your life to her maternal care.

The Novena has received the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur of the Archdiocese of Paris.

### 1/5 — Defective display-can’t read on Iphone13

*2023-09-01*

I just paid for this and get a blank screen. When I click on menu Icsee very hard to read text of prayers.  Unuseable - please don’t charge people for a broken app.  I really needed this novena and am disappointed terribly.

### 4/5 — Wonderful App

*2018-03-09*

Bil I love this app and pray this novena regularly. Can you adjust the shape of the page so that on my IPhone 7 Plus ALL the prayers show on the page? After using the app for some time, and out of habit always adding the Glory Be and Fatima Prayer, I discovered recently that it’s part of the Novena. I had to discover this by twitching and accidentally scrolling down today. I didn’t realize that there was more at the bottom of the page. That being said, it’s still my favorite app. I particularly like the reminder feature.

### 4/5 — Beautiful

*2013-01-14*

I just used this today and I love its design. It is easy to use. I hope Bil will add more Novenas.
