Visitors ask...Early Morning Prayers to Mary, the Mother of God?
An international visitor asked for "early morning prayers to Mary, the Mother of God." This is a key part of the Militia of the Immaculata, a Franciscan charism begun by St. Maximilian Kolbe and several seminarians and modeled after the beautiful consecration of St. Louis de Montfort. Each morning begins with a short "renewal" of this consecration which essentially makes your entire day a prayer lifted up to Jesus through Mary. Here are two other nice sites I found. One is a beautiful Marian Archive from the Franciscans with a great deal of information in various languages and with links to Marian prayers in Latin and English as well . The other is the Alpha Omega initiative by priests and laymen in German speaking countries .
