Franciscans and the Hail Mary

[just_me]

Does anyone know about the history of the final part of the Hail Mary? I read that the addittion of the final part is credited to Franciscans. If anyone has more info. about that, would you please respond - thanks.

I found this in the Catholic Encyclopedia, newadvent.org/cathen/07110b.htm I’m sure it’s much more than you wanted to know.

Thanks for the link. I am working on a newsletter for our Franciscan community and was thinking of mentioning this in there but am looking for more information.
