The Blessed Mother appeared to a Franciscan novitiate who daily had visited her in prayer from the time he was a child.
“Would you like to learn to pray in a manner pleasing to me?” Our Lady asked.
The Franciscan Crown, also known as the Rosary of the Seven Joys of Mary, is more than a celebration of the Blessed Mother’s life with Jesus. It’s an endearing journey resplendent with everyday miracles.
How to pray the Crown
Begin each decade with an Our Father and follow with ten Hail Mary’s. Then, at the end, pray two additional Hail Mary’s for a total of seventy-two, which represent the years Our Lady lived on earth. The Crown has no other prayers before, between, or after the decades, unless you count the sign of the cross before and after you say the rosary.
So, wherever you are, please join us in prayer.

Awesome blog!
I thought about starting my own blog, too; but I’m just too lazy, so I guess I’ll just have to keep checking yours out.
LOL.
Lazy? LOL redux.
More like your brain’s in percolating mode. Or sponge mode. You know… absorbing ideas here and there until yours are ready for show and tell.
Thanks for your entertaining thoughts!
