Saint Francis of Assisi rosary with 7 decades and box

Praying the joys of Mary with a rosary of Saint Francis with seven decades

The rosary of Saint Francis, also called the rosary of the seven joys of the Virgin, has seven decades instead of the five decades of the traditional rosary. This prayer is linked to Franciscan spirituality and invites us to contemplate the moments of joy in Mary's life: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity of Christ, the Adoration of the Magi, the discovery of Jesus in the Temple, the Resurrection and the Assumption.

Each decade allows us to meditate on these events by reciting the prayers of the Rosary. This form of prayer helps us to enter into an attitude of gratitude and trust, in the image of the evangelical simplicity dear to Saint Francis of Assisi.

With its seven decades of beads, this rosary allows you to experience a special Marian devotion. It recalls the Christian joy and hope that permeate the Gospel. The storage box makes it easy to keep and carry with you for prayer during a pilgrimage, spiritual retreat or in everyday life.

In the Franciscan tradition, simple and regular prayer helps to keep the heart turned towards God. The rosary thus becomes a support for meditating on the Gospel and entrusting one's intentions to the Virgin Mary.
