Mary Rules

O Blessed Virgin Mary, our Lord's servant-- so humble Hearing your Seven Sorrows makes my heart almost crumble I wish to imitate your loving prayers (and not mumble) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The Virgin Mary, humble servant of the Lord, was open to His every word and call. She was embraced by Francis with indescribable love and declared the protectress and advocate of his family. The Secular Franciscans should express their ardent love for her by imitating her complete self-giving and by praying earnestly and confidently. " (THE RULE OF THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER, #9)
