more on the franciscan crown rosary


It occurs to me that the Franciscan Crown Rosary (see below) would also be useful for contemplating the seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin. That would be a wholesome Lenten discipline. Once again, the Seven Sorrows of the BVM are:

1. The Prophecy of Simeon
2. The Flight into Egypt
3. Losing the Holy Child in Jerusalem
4. Meeting our Lord on his way to Calvary
5. Standing at the foot of the Cross
6. Jesus being taken down from the cross (the "pieta")
7. The Burial of Jesus
