Since the beginning of time they have attended the Holy Trinity with unending praise, and at the Bibles pivotal moments they were present. They convey Gods saving messages and assist in his continual ordering of the cosmos. Some are hell-bent on our damnation; others intercede tirelessly for our salvation. And there is one assigned just to protect you! They are the angels, the order of created spiritual beings: ubiquitous, uncountable, and yet for most of us a great mystery. In Angelic Answers, Fr. Mike Driscoll (Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment) pores through Scripture, Church tradition, and especially the work of the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, to present the known facts about these awesome beings. He dispels myths from popular culture (teaser: we dont become angels when we die), lays out the basics of angelic nature, knowledge, and powers, and describes the ways in which they do and dont interact with the physical world. Fr. Driscoll examines the reality of fallen angels, the demons who rebelled against God and who now focus their considerable might on tempting us toward sin and sometimes attacking our bodies and souls. And he tells us about the guardian angels gifted to us by God to steer us clear of such harms, help us resist error and temptation, and guide us on the path of grace. Plus, the many ways that St. Michael and other angels assist in the liturgy and life of the Church! Angelic Answers will help you better understand and appreciate the grandeur of Gods creation and the depth of his providential care for us. More importantly still, it will help foster the love for the angels that God wants us to have.
