My mother passed away this morning and my Baptist sister was telling me how she’s an angel now, I didn’t want to disagree with her but just agreed that, God willing, she is with Him now and also with us still.

We Catholics believe that we are no more separated from the saints than we are from the living, breathing humans on this earth. Through the power and presence of God they are aware of us and they hear our prayers. They have no power outside of God, they aren’t demi-gods that we worship but humans who have led the way and have attained what we hope to attain through the sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

So sorry for your loss, tiki.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her, and may her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.

“My mother passed away this morning...”

God Bless you and your family.

When is the Joyful Mass of the Resurrection? I was thinking at Adoration about an hour ago beautiful our heavenly home must be!

I’ll pray for your mother tonight during rosary.

Dear Tiki, I will pray for your mother.

May angels lead her into Paradise;
may the martyrs receive her at her coming
and lead her to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May a choir of angels receive her,
and with Lazarus,
who once was poor,
may she have eternal rest.
Amen.

Prayers for your mother, tiki, and you and your sister. I agree with both you and your sister...your mother is with God, and God is with you both.

That much you know for certain, and agree upon.

And that you have a sister who loved your mother as well as did you.

That's quite a few blessings.

May God comfort you as you grieve the loss of your mother.

Sorry to hear of your loss, praying for the repose of your mother’s soul, may she rest in peace. Prayers for strength and comfort for you and yours during this sad time.

But humans are not angels; they were created afterwards.

Men are to judge angels, too. Men don’t judge themselves (except possibly here in the Religion forum).

Eternal Rest be granted to your mother and I sympathize for your loss.

It interests me that so many Christians are confused that humans somehow become angels. Angels are sparate beings and have their own heirarchy. Human are above angels in God’s sight because Jesus loved us so much He redeemed us - the fallen angels weren’t redeemed. I get annoyed in It’s A Wonderful Life when they get that wrong with every time the bell rings. Humans remain human and will be raised up on the last day.

PS - we can pray to angels for the intercession before God too - they are certainly alive!!!
