Copyright (c) 1997 EWTN Online Services. The Franciscan Crown, or the Rosary of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an ancient sacramental treasured by the Franciscan order. Father Luke Wadding, a well-known Franciscan historian, dates the inception of this chaplet to 1422, the entrance date into the novitiate of the order of an unnamed pious young man. This young devotee of Mary had been accustomed, before his entrance, to decorate a statue of the Virgin with crowns of fresh flowers. This practice was forbidden to him in the novitiate, and fearing a lack of devotion to his Queen, he determined to leave the order.

He composed this manual of Franciscan history when Dionysius Schüler was Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor (1903-1911), on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the foundation of the Order (1209-1909). Heribert Holzapfel was born in Neckarsulm in northern Baden-Württemberg near Stuttgart, Germany, on 22nd November 1868, feast day of Saint Cecilia. His baptismal name was Joseph. His father, a shoemaker died very early. His pious mother raised her five children solidly and religiously. As a young student Heribert attended the Gymnasium in Landshut. He finished it as a Franciscan student after 7 years. In the meantime he had been accepted in the Order of Friars Minor in the Franciscan Province of Bavaria, and entered the Novitiate house at Dietfurt, 38 kilometres west of Regensburg, on 1st October 1884.

    Call to Holiness May 2014 Bulletin Supplement Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. May 1: Saint Joseph the Worker Apparently in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker in 1955. But the relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers has a much longer history. In a constantly necessary effort to keep Jesus from being removed from ordinary human life, the Church has from the beginning proudly emphasized that Jesus was a carpenter, obviously trained by Joseph in both the satisfactions and the drudgery of that vocation. Humanity is like God not only in thinking and loving, but also in creating. Whether we make a table or a cathedral, we are called to bear fruit with our hands and mind, ultimately for the building up of the Body of Christ. May 2: Saint Athanasius (295?-373) Athanasius led a tumultuous but dedicated life of service to the Church. He was the great champion of the faith against the widespread heresy of Arianism, the teaching by Arius that Jesus was not truly divine. The vigor of his writings earned him the title of doctor of the Church. Born of a Christian family in Alexandria, Egypt, and given a classical education, Athanasius became secretary to Alexander, the bishop of Alexandria, entered the priesthood and was eventually named bishop himself.
