Helping you to pray the prayer Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin, based on the method suggested by St Louis De Montfort. To encourage you to pray more often, there is an optional daily reminder feature that you can enable from the Settings screen. Please pray for holy souls in Purgatory and also for me as I continue to develop Catholic apps. From St. Louis Marie de Montfort, "True Devotion To Mary" If it is not too inconvenient, they should recite every day of their lives the Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin, which is composed of three Our Fathers and twelve Hail Marys in honour of the twelve glorious privileges of Mary. This prayer is very old and is based on Holy Scripture. St. John saw in a vision a woman crowned with twelve stars, clothed with the sun and standing upon the moon. According to biblical commentators, this woman is the Blessed Virgin. There are several ways of saying the Little Crown but it would take too long to explain them here. The Holy Spirit will teach them to those who live this devotion conscientiously. However, here is a simple way to recite it. As an introduction say: "Virgin most holy, accept my praise; give me strength to fight your foes", then say the Creed. Next, say the following sequence of prayers three times: one Our Father, four Hail Marys and one Glory be to the Father. In conclusion say the prayer Sub tuum - "We fly to thy patronage". ## Key features - Guided Little Crown prayer - St. Louis De Montfort method - Daily prayer reminders - Scripture-based prayer - Honors Mary's privileges ## What do users think of Catholic Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

Because there is no narration choice contributed to reduce the chance of it becoming a mundane routine or natural distractions. It’s a good beginner rosary. There are beads designed, especially for the Little Crown. There is a Little Crown Rosary for mothers of priests that has three decades of 10. That includes a different meditation. And a different set of beads. Mary ### 5/5 — Help *2025-12-09, version 2.1* This app (along with the scriptural rosary app) has stopped working on my iPhone 14.

She is my love too! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-06-06, version 2.1* Great app for Catholics everywhere ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-05-07, version 2.1* This is so much more efficient to use instead of those scroll down websites.
