The 7 Joys of Mary also known as the Franciscan Crown has been prayed by Franciscans since 1422. The 7 Joys of Mary were prayed by St. Maximilian Kolbe and Fr. Thomas has added reflections from the writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe which show his profound love and understanding of the Immaculata. Fr. Thomas will offer a Consecration to Mary after Mass on September 8, the birth of Mary, at the Shrine offering the prayer of Total Consecration composed by St. Maximilian Kolbe for the Militia of the Immaculata which he founded on October 16, 1917.
