I've...Dear Friar Charles, Thanks for this post. I've been looking for info on the Crown. I am happy to see a reasonable plan of action.<br /><br />What's the history of doing the Crown in Friars Minor? (the answer to this question will take a forest of trees) It seems to me that even though the "Franciscans" have had a strong devotion to Mary the promotion of the Crown is lax. Now, I can't make generalizations but if I understand a friend who is a Conventual correctly, that group presented the Crown to the novices and they prayed it as a group only on Saturdays but little more was said or advocated. Even encouraging --not even mandating-- the praying of the Crown daily in October was prohibited.<br /><br />Is the Crown promoted in Capuchin parishes? How is it spoken of in Capuchin formation programs?<br /><br />The beauty of the rosary devotion is that it's Scripture in miniature and that's method is very flexible.Paul A.
