Beschreibung

Deepen or discover your devotion to the Holy Angels through these traditional and contemporary prayers honoring the angels, written and compiled by Sr. Mary Mark Wickenhiser, FSP. Our belief in angels is confirmed by Scripture and the continual teaching of the Catholic Church throughout the centuries. As messengers of God’s providential love, angels enlighten our minds and inspire our wills so that we are better able to respond to God's graces. We should call upon the angels to overcome the spirits of evil active in our world today.

Part of the Catholic Treasury series, this beautiful collection includes daily prayers, the Rosary of the Holy Angels, litanies and novenas to St. Gabriel the Archangel, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Raphael the Archangel, prayers to the guardian angels and devotions to one’s own guardian angel, plus scripture references and suggested readings. It included a catechesis on angels as they are understood through scripture and the Catholic Church.

This is the perfect book for anyone looking to deepen their prayer life and thank God for these heavenly spirits watching over humanity.

Introduction

Sacred Scripture first introduces us to angels in the Book of Genesis (3:24) when God places the Cherubim with a fiery sword to guard the way to the tree of life. From that point on in the Old Testament, we encounter angels performing various services for the Lord and demonstrating their care and concern for God’s people. In the New Testament, we read of an angel visiting Mary to tell her that God has chosen her to be the mother of his Son. An angel announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds. An angel ministered to Jesus during his agony in the garden. An angel stood by the empty tomb and announced Jesus’ resurrection. In the Acts of the Apostles, an angel freed Peter from prison. (See more scriptural references on page 137.) Our belief in angels is confirmed by Scripture and the continual teaching of the Catholic Church throughout the centuries.
