VOCATIONS – COME & SEE
WEEKEND
20 OCTOBER 2019
QUESTION & ANSWER
In September and October, we celebrated the
Archangels and the Guradian Angels. Do we still
believe in angels? The Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly affirms,
“The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that
sacred Scripture usually calls ‘angels’ is a truth of faith.
The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of
Tradition” (no. 328). Given that we do believe in angels,
we define them as pure spirits and personal beings with
intelligence and free will. They are immortal beings. As
the Bible attests, they appear to humans as apparitions with
a human form.
The next three choirs fulfill God’s providential plan for the
universe: The dominations or dominions, whose name
evokes authority, govern the lesser choirs of angels. The
virtues, whose name originally suggested power or
strength, implement the orders from the dominations and
govern the heavenly bodies. Lastly, the powers confront
and fight against any evil forces opposed to God’s
providential plan.
The last three choirs are directly involved in human affairs:
The principalities care for earthly principalities, such as
nations or cities. The archangels deliver God’s most
important messages to mankind, while each angel serves as
a guardian for each of us. Although not official dogma, this
schema became popular in the Middle Ages in the writings
of St. Thomas Aquinas.
A key to understanding angels is by looking at what they
do. First, angels see, praise and worship God in His divine
presence. Jesus said, “See that you never despise one of
these little ones. I assure you, their angels in Heaven constantly behold my heavenly Father’s face” (Mt 18:10),
a passage which also indicates that each of us has a
guardian angel. The Book of Revelation described how the
angels surround the throne of God and sing praises (cf Rv
5:11ff, 7:11ff). Moreover, they rejoice over the saved soul
of the repentant sinner (Lk 15:10).
Second, “angel” comes from the Greek “angelos” which
means “messenger,” which describes their role in
interacting with this world. St. Augustine stated that angels
were “the mighty ones who do His word, hearkening to the
voice of His word.” Throughout sacred Scripture, the
angels served as messengers of God, whether delivering an
actual message of God’s plan of salvation, rendering
justice, or providing strength and comfort. After the Fall of
Adam and Eve and their expulsion, the cherubim guarded
the entrance to the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:24). Angels
protected Lot and his family in Sodom and Gomorrah (Gn
19). The angel stopped Abraham as he was about to offer
Isaac in sacrifice (Gn 22). An angel guarded the people on
the way to the Promised Land (Ex 23:20). In all, Hebrews
1:14 captured their role well: “Are they not all
ministering spirits, sent to serve those who are to inherit
salvation?” Article by Rev. William Saunders from the Arlington Catholic Herald.
CANADIAN HEARTS & HANDS: A
MISSION WITHOUT BORDERS
Canadian Hearts and Hands is a Catholic Missionary Group
that has built and staffed orphanages in Mexico and Kenya
for the past 16 years. Currently we are involved in the same
endeavor in Southern Egypt. This group is mainly staffed
and lead by lay people. Not only do we look for financial
donations or clothing items, but more importantly we look
for individuals to give of their time and talent in aiding the
orphanages aboard. It becomes a life changing experience
for the vast majority of individuals who have gone abroad
and have given of their time. These missionary orphanages
are staffed by local people: psychologists, nurses to name a
few. Father Joe Singh is the Chaplain for Canadian Hearts
and Hands. For more information please visit
