Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin
This chaplet honors the twelve stars in Mary’s Crown, spoken of in Revelation 12, by praying 12 Hail Mary’s, separated by 3 Our Father’s. Particularly loved by St. Louis de Montfort, it is prayed by the Montfortians every morning. The chaplet’s prayers are as follows.
