Catholic Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Catholic Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a helpful application that assists users in praying the prayer Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary, following the method suggested by St Louis De Montfort.

The app offers an optional daily reminder feature, which users can enable from the Settings screen, to encourage more frequent prayer.

The prayer itself, known as the Little Crown, consists of three Our Fathers and twelve Hail Marys, honoring the twelve glorious privileges of Mary. This prayer is based on Holy Scripture, where St. John saw a vision of a woman crowned with twelve stars, clothed with the sun, and standing upon the moon. Biblical commentators believe this woman to be the Blessed Virgin Mary.

While there are various ways to recite the Little Crown, the app provides a simple method. Users begin with an introduction, saying "Virgin most holy, accept my praise; give me strength to fight your foes," followed by the Creed. They then recite a sequence of prayers three times: one Our Father, four Hail Marys, and one Glory be to the Father. The prayer concludes with the Sub tuum prayer, "We fly to thy patronage."

Catholic Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a valuable tool for those seeking to deepen their devotion to Mary and incorporate the Little Crown prayer into their daily lives.
