2012 Prayer Intentions - 5. For the Angelic Warfare Confraternity

In September of 2011, I was enrolled in the Angelic Warfare Confraternity, an apostolate of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) for people in all states of life (laity, both married and unmarried; clergy; consecrated religious) who seek to grow in the virtue of chastity. Members wear a blessed cord or medal, and say a set of special prayers each day for the intentions of the entire confraternity, and they are placed in the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Since my enrollment, I have experienced a great growth in grace and particularly in the virtue of chastity that has brought me a new freedom and joy in my daily life. It is my hope that others come to be enrolled as well, and that they experience the same graces and joys that I have.

In addition to my daily confraternity prayers, I will include the members of the Angelic Warfare Confraternity in my special intentions each Thursday of 2012.
