In 1442 a young man – known now as “James of the Rosary” – entered the order had been a fervent client of our Blessed Lady and had decorated her statue daily with a “crown” of flowers. Since he was not permitted to continue this practice in the novitiate, he thought of leaving the order.

Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Resurrection of Our Lord. Assumption & Coronation of Our LadyAt the end, two Hail Mary’s are added (to bring the number to 72), and the usual prayers for the Holy Father are made (Our Father and Hail Mary).The devotion of the Seven Decade Franciscan Rosary is recommended for Saturdays – it might serve as a nice varietal in your commitment to praying the “normal” (i.e. Dominican) five decade Rosary.
