The Crown of Mary Prayer Circle: 
The Early Years of Mary

12th October 2025, 6pm UK

You are warmly invited to join us for our next Crown of Mary Prayer Circle — a sacred online gathering dedicated to deepening our connection with Mary, the Mother of Christ.

Each gathering blends reflection, teaching, and contemplative prayer, inviting us to explore the mysteries of Mary’s life, her role in Christ’s ministry, and her ongoing presence as a spiritual guide. 

At the heart of our journey are the 12 Stars of Mary’s Crown — twelve sacred moments that reveal her extraordinary story and the divine light that continues to shine through her. 

During this month’s gathering, we’ll share in the three-part Crown of Mary prayer — beginning with the Invocation of Mother Mary, followed by a Prayer of Service, and concluding with a Blessing to Receive a Miracle. These prayers are at the heart of every Crown of Mary circle, helping us open to Mary’s light, share her love, and receive her grace. 

Our reflection will focus on the first star of Mary’s Crown — Mary’s Nativity and Dedication to the Temple. We’ll explore how Mary was born into a family of mystics — Anna and Joachim — whose faithful prayers brought forth the one who would become the Mother of Christ. Together we’ll reflect on her mystical lineage, her early life in the Temple, and the way her prayerful upbringing prepared her to encounter the presence of God and the angels. 

The mystery within this star reminds us that prayers are answered in God’s perfect timing — and that some things are truly worth waiting for.

In this month’s call, we’ll also touch on the apparition of Fatima and how it continues to shape mystical understandings of Mary through the ages. Remarkably, on this very day, the original statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be in Rome for a great procession — making it a profoundly symbolic moment for us to gather in prayer under the same mantle of Marian mystery and remembrance. 

This is a donation-based gathering, offered on a pay-what-you-want basis — and that can also be nothing. No one will ever be turned away from the light of Mary. Everyone is welcome
