How to Pray the Rosary More Deeply

Last week Formation Friday was about the prayer journey of the Secular Franciscan.


Many, if not most of us, pray the Rosary, both the traditional Rosary and the Franciscan Crown,  as an integral part of our prayer journey.

We would like to offer some resources below that will deepen our experience of praying this beautiful prayer:

The Franciscan Crown (The Seven Decade Rosary)—this one is ours!!

https://franciscanmissionaries.com/7-decade-rosary/

“One unique devotion of the Franciscans is a seven-decade rosary known as the Franciscan Crown. While the traditional rosary consists of 5 decades which meditate on 15 mysteries (or 20 if you pray the Luminous mysteries) the 7-decade Franciscan Rosary, known as the The Franciscan Crown, is a Rosary consisting of seven decades with each decade describing a particular joy from the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

 

+ Whether you already pray the Rosary or not, please view and read the interesting material above.

 

Questions to discuss or to answer in your journal:

+ Why is the Rosary important in your life?

+ If you don’t pray the Rosary, what has been stopping you?

+ How can the Rosary become an important part of your spiritual journey as a Secular Franciscan?
