Book excerpt: Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They’re cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven. Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively book, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses." The martyrs cry out from heaven’s altar begging for justice on the earth. The prayers of the saints and angels rise to God, in the Book of Revelation, like the sweet aroma of incense. Dr. Hahn tells the stories of several saints (and several angels too) in a way that’s fresh and new. The saints are spiritual giants but with flesh-and-blood reality. They have strong, holy ambitions—and powerful temptations and opposition that must be overcome. Their stories are amazing and yet familiar enough to motivate us to live more beautiful lives. In this telling of their story, the saints are neither otherworldly nor this-worldly. They exemplify the integrated life that every Christian is called to live. Still, their lives are as different from one another as human lives can be. Dr. Hahn shows the heavenly Church in all its kaleidoscopic diversity—from Moses to Mary, Augustine to Therese, and the first century to the last century. Only saints will live in heaven. We need to be more like the saints if we want to live in heaven someday. Dr. Hahn shows us that our heavenly life can begin now. It must.

Download or read book Angels Saints written by Eliot Weinberger and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gorgeously illustrated co-publication with Christine Burgin by “one of the world’s great essayists” (The New York Times). With a guide to the illustrations by Mary Wellesley. Angels have soared through Western culture and consciousness from Biblical to contemporary times. But what do we really know about these celestial beings? Where do they come from, what are they made of, how do they communicate and perceive? The celebrated essayist Eliot Weinberger has mined and deconstructed, resurrected and distilled centuries of theology into an awe-inspiring exploration of the heavenly host. From a litany of angelic voices, Weinberger’s lyrical meditation then turns to the earthly counterparts, the saints, their lives retold in a series of vibrant and playful capsule biographies, followed by a glimpse of the afterlife. Threaded throughout Angels & Saints are the glorious illuminated grid poems by the eighteenth-century Benedictine monk Hrabanus Maurus. These astonishingly complex, proto-“concrete” poems are untangled in a lucid afterword by the medieval scholar and historian Mary Wellesley.

Download or read book Angels of Light Sanctity and the Discernment of Spirits in the Early Modern Period written by Clare Copeland and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14) Paul's warning of false apostles and false righteousness struck a special chord in the period of the European Reformations. At no other time was the need for the discernment of spirits felt as strongly as in this newly confessional age. More than ever, the ability to discern was a mark of holiness and failure the product of demonic temptation. The contributions to this volume chart individual responses to a problem at the heart of religious identity. They show that the problem of discernment was not solely a Catholic concern and was an issue for authors and artists as much as for prophets and visionaries.

Download or read book God s Angels written by Rev. R. Stienstra and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Angels: His Ministering Spirits is clearly the work of a mature, highly educated and experienced author. Dr. Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) produced the book toward the end of his life, after he had given strong leadership in church matters, founded a university and also a Christian political party, and served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands. His extensive writing in the areas of theology and the Christian life-view prepared him finally to focus on the subject of angels. It was a privilege and a challenge for me to make this highly significant book available to the English speaking people. The book pursues all sorts of facets in the life of angels. From when they were created to what their task really entails. The falling into sin of a large number of angels is important for the human race. Why is there a Satan? Do people have a guardian angel? Will the angels be there when we die? Many questions are answered. This book will make the readers think and become enriched with greater Biblical and practical knowledge.

One of the chief means for spreading devotion to the Holy Angels, is the distribution of well-selected books on the subject. "This means," he writes, "includes almost all the others, since it both gives them honour and teaches it." In the absence of any treatise on the due mode of honouring these blessed spirits, it is hoped that the present publication may be found a useful contribution to our devotional literature.

Download or read book Enjoy the Ministries of Angels written by Victoria Adesipe Prophetess and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angels are Spirits beings that were created by GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE BEGINNING. They have celestial bodies. Their abode is with God in heaven, and multitudes of them are also on the earth performing great operations and assignments for God and for men. InHebrew 1; 7 says ''and of the angels, he said who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire''. Verse 14 says, ''are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to for them who shall be heirs of salvation''. This shows that angels were basically created serve God, and to minister to those who will be heirs of salvation. They were created by God before the creation of man. We don't know when exactly in the eternity past they were created. All we know is that they were created by God and at the time of their creation they were called the Sons of GOD. Job, 1; 6. 38; 7. They were present when the foundations of this earth were laid. They were present when God the Almighty created the earth. They were very excited to see the creation of the earth, a planet that look very similar to theirs, that they even clapped their hands, Job 38; 7. l believe they were present when God created Adam in the Garden of Aden. Gen 1;26, They are also called the ministering spirits. They are light. There are Angels that behold the face of the father. Some of them are children angels.There are Angels that stand at the presence of God. Gabriel is one of such who said, he stands before the presence of God. Luke 1; 19,There are great works that angels of God are doing for saints all over the world from the time immemorial, but most people are not aware. They are highly involved with man and the project man on the earth far beyond what each of us as human can imagine. There are angels that stand with us from the day we are born till we finish our assignment on the earth. These are our guiding angels. There are Angels that keep us from evil. There are Angels that minister to godly nation like lsrael. There are angels that are carrying out God's eternal purpose on the earth from eternity past till eternity future; I believe a book like this is to stir the interest of the saints so we can search the scriptures to understand these companions, God made available to keep us as we get ready for the bridegroom. Please enjoy your reading! Prophetess Victoria Adesipe.

This book is truly a gem, containing both beautiful prayers and childlike insights, and Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle has outdone herself in offering to all God’s children this angelic treasury!” -Fr. Donald Calloway , MIC, STL Author – Under the Mantle: Marian Thoughts from a 21st Century Priest “ Science calls us to believe in the unseeable – black holes in space, which cannot ever be seen because they absorb all light before it can reflect back to an observer. They believe in black holes because of anomalous behavior in space. So also, Christians, like Jews, Muslims, and many other religious people around the world and throughout history believe in angels, not only because of anomalous behaviors we experience in life's events but also because of God's Revelation in Scripture. We do well to introduce children to these facts, along with astronomical facts, to prepare them for a mature spiritual life. This book is such an introduction, and parents might be reminded of their own angels as they read with their children.” -Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. “Angels for Kids by Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle surveys the whole Bible in a touching way . The book reminds its young readers that they are always lovingly cared for by God and protected from every kind of harm.” – Jack Wintz
