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)
