The Franciscan Crown: The Joyful Mysteries in the Lives of the Virgin Mary and Saint Francis of Assisi

By Robert Melnick, OFM Conventual and Joseph Wood, OFM Conventual.  Printed in Assisi, Italy.

 

The Franciscan Crown Rosary is a seven decade rosary which commemorates the joys of Our Lady (The Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Visit of the Magi, Finding in the Temple, Resurrection, and Assumption and Coronation of Our Lady).  An indulgence is attached to the recitation of this Rosary.  For much information on this Rosary, see this link.  

 

This beautiful, small booklet contains photos of mosaics located in the Chapel of Perpetual Adoration at the Conventual Franciscan Shrine of Marytown, Libertyville, Illinois.  An appropriate Scripture verse, a writing from one of the lives of Saint Francis of Assisi, and a prayerful meditation accompanies each photograph so that the reader may more easily ponder the mystery as he or she prays.
