This looks excellent. (I read the part about the devil -- very good.) Somehow people today don't seem to believe that Satan really exists.

I believe God has given us Guardian angels and I feel less alone in my prayers whenever I ask mine to pray with me. I never pray to my angel. That would displease God. But I know God has sent an angel to help me with my prayers.

I also know God likes to make me laugh, and He has done so through the guardian angel.

Blessed be the Name of God.

Just curious, but did that issue of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin ever get resolved. If so, what was the final tally?

A good overview of the subject. I just finished reading the section of the Summa regarding angels (see the bottom of the page). It's fascinating, especially the roles of the various orders of angels as explicated by St. Thomas.

In the Orthodox Christian belief system the feast of "synaxis of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and the rest of the archangels" is celebrated as a union of humans and angels.

Angels are in the here and now not only in the afterlife...the unity starts in this world

This is wonderful, thanx for posting it.

Just got back from a great little vacation to Alabama to visit with my husband's relatives near Talladega. We went through Birmingham and took a little detour over to Irondale to see EWTN and visit the chapel at Our Lady of Angels, where Mother Angelica built her first monastery in Alabama. It was so wonderful. I took a few pictures and I think I saw that there was an angel statue UNDERNEATH the altar there when we went to Mass last Thursday afternoon. (I think we were on t.v.) I can't tell you how that felt, but to say, well you know, wer'e always on God's t.v. in that He's got it recorded! Makes you think really hard about such things
