Prayer to the Guardian Angels
Throughout this month, it's good for us to pray the Guardian Angel Prayer: "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."

Campus Ministry
Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
Saint Louis de Montfort, an inspiring saint of the 17th and 18th centuries, said that the Rosary "is a priceless treasure inspired by God." Indeed, the graces God gives to souls who devoutly pray the Rosary is like a waterfall, vivifying them to fervor for Jesus Christ and His Church and to live charitably to all. The Church in her wisdom has deemed October the month of the Holy Rosary, inspired particularly by the incredible outcome of the Battle of Lepanto on October 7th, 1571, which St. Pius V attributed to Our Lady. For more on this, click here.
In light of the season were are in, let us take up and renew our heartfelt devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, particularly by praying her Rosary. By entrusting ourselves, our families, our communities, and the Church to her, we can take heart that she will help us live truly courageous, joyful, and faithful to The Lord. If it is difficult due to time to pray a whole 5 decades, try taking a few minutes to pray one decade devoutly in order to more concretely live under the intercession of the Queen of Heaven. For more on how to pray the Rosary, click here or pick up a booklet by the chapel area of the school.
Prayer Opportunities:
-
There will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and confessions available during both lunch periods for the community every Wednesday. Submitted by Mr. Bauman rwbauman@charlottecatholic.com
-
Starting October 12, there will be a communal Rosary prayed after school at 2:35 in the chapel Monday through Thursday for those interested.
Rosaries for CCHS: Parents, please consider signing up for a day to pray the Rosary for the spiritual needs of all of those at Charlotte Catholic High School - the students, teachers, administration and chaplain. Click here to sign up.
