Description
The Chaplet Prayer for the Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a beautiful little prayer that is said to have been created by St. John Berchmans. The chaplet consists of seven Hail Marys, each with a special invocation to the Blessed Virgin, and it is said to be especially beneficial for those who want to devote themselves to her. The chaplet is also said to be a favorite of St. Louis Mary de Montfort, who added his own special invocation to it.

Information.
St. John, the beloved disciple of Jesus and Mary, was privileged to behold a wonderful sign in heaven: "A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." (Apoc.12) :
Scripture commentators tell us this vision portrays the Blessed Virgin with her virtues and privileges, especially her divine motherhood. This gave rise to the Triple Crown of Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin which heaven has blessed with countless favors. St. John Berchmans and many other devoted children of Mary made the Little Crown their daily favorite. :
St. Louis Mary de Montfort, universally known for his True Devotion to Mary, embellished the Little Crown by adding to each Hail Mary a distinctive invocation in praise of the Blessed Virgin's excellence, power and goodness, ending with the joyful strain, "Rejoice, O Virgin Mary! Rejoice a thousand times!" :
St. Louis, gave the Little Crown as a morning prayer to both his religious families, the Monthfort Fathers and the Daughters of Wisdom. He heartily recommends it to all who embrace the holy and loving slavery to Jesus through Mary. Thus the world over, from the lips of Mary's favorite children the Little Crown rises like fragrant incense to our Blessed Mother's throne in heaven and returns to earth in showers of divine benediction.
Since the Blessed Virgin is the spouse of the Holy Spirit, St. Louis prefaces the Little Crown with a liturgical invocation to the Holy Spirit
