The Franciscan Crown (The Rosary of Our Lady's Seven Joys)

Say the Rosary in this manner: Recite 1 Our Father, and 2 Hail Mary's. Then for each of the Seven Decades, recite the Mystery, 1 Our Father and 10 Hail Mary's. At the end of the Seventh Decade, two more Hail Mary's are said.

The Seven Mysteries are the Seven Joys of Our Lady:

1) the Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin Mary at Nazareth

2) the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth

3) the Birth of Jesus Christ and the Adoration of the Magi

4) the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

5) the Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple by the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph

6) the Resurrection of Our Lord on Easter Morning

7) the Assumption of Mary into Heaven
