"My Guardian Angel" Catholic Religious Medal Charm Bracelet


St. Gertrude's Guardian Angel Prayer
O most holy angel of God, appointed by God to be my guardian, I give you thanks for all the benefits which you have ever bestowed on me in body and in soul. I praise and glorify you that you condescended to assist me with such patient fidelity, and to defend me against all the assaults of my enemies. Blessed be the hour in which you were assigned me for my guardian, my defender and my patron. In acknowledgement and return for all your loving ministries to me, I offer you the infinitely precious and noble heart of Jesus, and firmly purpose to obey you henceforward, and most faithfully to serve my God. Amen.

St. Therese Charm Bracelet

“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.”  
St. Therese


I was inspired to create another charm bracelet honoring this great Saint, St. Therese.  In this occasion, I felt to create one more festive than I normally create for St. Therese, maybe the spirit was more joyous on the creation and I combined several colors and beads including vintage Lucite flowers and I really loved the outcome of it.

I added goldtone and silvertone Italian Catholic medals, including, St. Rita, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Loreto, St. Kateri and Our Lady of Perpetual Help

May St. Therese shower you with Flowers from Heaven

"My King is Born" Catholic Virgin Mary Cameo Charm Bracelet


Give us, O Lord,
steadfast hearts, 
which no unworthy thought can drag downwards;
unconquered hearts, 
which no tribulation can wear out,
upright hearts,

Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God,
understanding to know Thee,
diligence to seek Thee,
wisdom to find Thee,
and a faithfulness 
that may finally embrace Thee.
