1st Thursday of the Month-Chaplet to the Guardian Angels

I have posted this elsewhere on this site, but since we're at the beginning of the month, I thought I'd give the chaplets center stage.

THURSDAY: November 1, 2018

To The Guardian Angels

The first Thursday is dedicated to the guardian angel: to know him; to be delivered from the wiles of the devil in spiritual and material dangers; to follow our angel in his concern and effort to lead us to heaven.



1. Heavenly Father, I thank your infinite goodness for having entrusted me from the moment my soul came forth from your creative hands to an angel to “light and guard, rule and guide” me. I also thank you, my guardian angel, for accompanying me daily on my return journey to my heavenly Father. Your holy inspirations, your continual protection against spiritual and material dangers, and your powerful prayers to God give me great comfort and sure hope.

~Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide. Amen.



2. My guardian angel, you contemplate the Lord at all times and you want me as your fellow citizen in heaven. I beseech you to obtain for me pardon from the Lord because I have so often been deaf to your advice, have sinned in your presence, and recall so seldom that you are always near me.

~Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide. Amen.



3. My guardian angel, faithful and strong in virtue, you are one of the angels led by St. Michael who overcame Satan and his followers. That battle which one day took place in heaven now continues on earth: the prince of evil and his followers oppose Jesus Christ, and try to ensnare souls. Pray to the Immaculate Queen of the Apostles for the Church, the city of God, which fights against the city of Satan. St. Michael the Archangel, together with your followers defend us in battle; be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May the Lord subdue him! And you, prince of the heavenly host, thrust back into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

~Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide. Amen.



4. Angels of heaven, watch over those who write, produce and distribute audiovisual media and all those who make use of them. Defend them from evil, guide them in the truth, and obtain for them true charity. For the apostolate of the audiovisual media, ask of God the necessary vocations and be with them in their delicate mission. Inspire everyone to contribute to the apostolate of social communication media with deeds, prayer and offerings. Enlighten, guard, rule and guide the world of audiovisual media, so that it may serve to uplift the level of this present life and direct all peoples toward eternal goods.

~Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide. Amen.



5. All you angels of the Lord, you are called to pay noble homage, give praise and incessantly bless the august Trinity, to make reparation for our negligence. You are true lovers of God and of souls, and you continue to sing “Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to men of good will.” We beseech you on behalf of humanity that all may know the one true God, his Son whom he sent, and the Church, the pillar of truth. Pray that the name of God may be held sacred, the kingdom of Jesus Christ may come, and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Extend your protection over civil authorities, working people and those who suffer. Obtain blessings and salvation for those who seek truth, justice and peace.

~Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side to light and guard to rule and guide. Amen.
