ANGELS : THE 12 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM

ANGELS

The Twelve Most Important Things to Know About Them

- by Dr. Peter Kreeft

1.They really exist. Not just in our minds, or our myths, or our symbols, or our culture. They are as real as your dog, or your sister, or electricity.

2.They’re present, right here, right now, right next to you, reading these words with you.

3.They’re not cute, cuddly, comfortable, chummy, or “cool”. They are fearsome and formidable. They are huge. They are warriors.

4.They are the real “extra-terrestrials”, the real “Super-men”, the ultimate aliens. Their powers are far beyond those of all fictional creatures.

5.They are more brilliant minds than Einstein.

6.They can literally move the heavens and the earth if God permits them.

7.There are also evil angels, fallen angels, demons, or devils. These too are not myths. Demon possessions, and exorcisms, are real.

8.Angels are aware of you, even though you can’t usually see or hear them. But you can communicate with them. You can talk to them without even speaking.

9.You really do have your very own “guardian angel”. Everybody does.

10.Angels often come disguised. “Do not neglect hospitality, for some have entertained angels unawares” — that’s a warning from life’s oldest and best instruction manual.

11.We are on a protected part of a great battlefield between angels and devils, extending to eternity.

12.Angels are sentinels standing at the crossroads where life meets death. They work especially at moments of crisis, at the brink of disaster — for bodies, for souls, and for nations.

The Guardian Angel Prayer should be prayed every day:

Angel of God,

my Guardian dear,

To whom God's love

commits me here;

Ever this day, be at my side

To light and guard

To rule and guide.

Amen. ❤
