There are several customs for prayers on the cross at the

end of the Franciscan Crown. Often a simple Sign of the
Cross is made to finish out the prayers. St. Francis of
Assisi’s Prayer Before the Cross can also be used here:

We adore you, Most Holy Lord Jesus Christ, here

and in all your churches throughout the world, and
 implore that I may love You more and more.

[On each red bead:]

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!

[At the end of each set of small beads say:]

Sacred Heart of Jesus, be my salvation!

[At the conclusion of the chaplet:]

May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised,
adored and loved with grateful affection at every moment in all the
tabernacles of the world even to the end of time. Amen.

Mother. She received Him with unutterable tenderness and pressed Him close to her
bosom.
O Mother of Sorrows, for the love of Your Son, accept me as Your servant and pray

Consider how the disciples carried the body of Jesus to its burial, while His holy
Mother went with them and arranged it in the sepulcher with her own hands. They
then closed the tomb and all departed.
Oh, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that closes You in. But You gloriously did rise
again on the third day. I beg You by Your resurrection that I may be raised
gloriously on the last day, to be united with You in Heaven, to praise You and love
You forever. I love You , Jesus, and I repent of ever having offended You. Grant
that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Your passion and death is the sacrifice that unites Earth and
Heaven and reconciles all people to You. May we who have faithfully reflected on
these mysteries follow in Your steps and so come to share Your glory in Heaven
where You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen.
