Devotion to the Allegrezze di Maria SS.ma
The Virgin herself would have shown her liking by appearing to St. Arnolfo of Cornoboult and St. Thomas of Cantorbery to rejoice in the treats they lent her in honor of her joys of the earth and inviting them to honor also those of Heaven which they enumerated. Great devotee and apostle of rejoicing was St. Bernardino (like all the Franciscan saints) who said that all the graces he had received owed to this devotion.
Chaplets can be used in the novena at every feast of the Madonna
