Franciscan Family Chaplet (Female Voice)
During Holy Week 2010, a Secular Franciscan (Third Order Franciscan) named Nicholas H. Kovacs from the St. Thomas More Fraternity in Houston, Texas, was inspired by the Holy Spirit to create a chaplet, dedicated to praying for the renewal of the Franciscan Order. The title of this new prayer is “The Franciscan Family Chaplet”.
Beginning:
Make the sign of the cross and recite “The Apostle’s Creed”. Then recite the “Hail Mary” 3 times.
First Decade:
Begin by saying: “St. Francis of Assisi, through your intercession, I pray that the First Order increases in vocations and that its members continue to grow in holiness.”
Then recite the “Our Father” and recite 10 times the following: “My God and my all!”
Second Decade:
Begin by saying: “St. Francis of Assisi, through your intercession, I pray that the Second Order increases in vocations and that its members continue to grow in holiness.”
Then recite the “Our Father” and recite 10 times the following: “My God and my all!”
Third Decade:
Begin by saying: “St. Francis of Assisi, through your intercession, I pray that the Third Order, both Regular and Secular, increases in vocations and that its members continue to grow in holiness.”
Then recite the “Our Father” and recite 10 times the following: “My God and my all!”
Conclusion:
End by reciting 1 time: “We adore You, O Lord Jesus Christ, because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.” Say the “Glory Be” 3 times for the intentions of the Pope and his continued holiness. Make the sign of the cross.
Note: This chaplet can be said as a Novena in preparation for the feast of St. Francis on October 4.

A Chaplet is a Christian meditative form of prayer which uses prayer beads. Some chaplets have a strong Marian element, others focus more directly on Jesus or the Saints. Chaplets are "personal devotionals." They have no set form and vary considerably. In the Roman Catholic Church, while the usual five-decade Dominican rosary is a chaplet, often chaplets have fewer beads than a traditional rosary and a different set of prayers.
This channel was created by a husband and wife team who wanted to compile both common and rare chaplets in one easy to find place in order to fill a gap in the accessibility of these amazing Catholic prayers.
This channel seeks to bring a multitude of different chaplets, in all of their forms, to listeners providing a rich resource of spiritual healing, encouragement, and support for the daily struggles of everyday life.
The channel is designed primarily for listening while in the car, home, doing chores, or while exercising. Video content is intentionally still so as to focus the listener on the prayers and to be compatible with the other activities in which they’re engaged at the time of listening.
Imagery in this channel is intentionally sought to be in the public domain or within creative commons guidelines.
