    About this ebook

    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.

      Holy Angels Prayer Book - Mark Wickenhiser

      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.

      The word angel derives from the Greek angelos which means messenger. The Hebrew word malak, used in the Old Testament also means messenger, or, one who carries out God’s commands. For this reason, artists throughout the ages have often depicted angels with wings, flowing garments, and transparent-like bodies encircled in light so as to convey the idea of swiftness and other-worldliness. Angels, however, are pure spirits, and as such are inaccessible to our senses. They cannot be seen or touched by us unless God chooses to make them visible for a specific purpose. Although they are immaterial beings, angels possess understanding and free will, and because they do not have the limitations of a material body, they are immortal.

      In the beginning, when God created these spiritual beings, God gave them special gifts of grace, wisdom, power, and holiness. According to references in Holy Scripture, the number of angels is countless. The Letter to the Hebrews (12:22), speaks of thousands; the Book of Revelation (5:11) mentions tens of thousands, while the Book of Daniel suggests ten thousand times ten thousand (7:10). The New Testament mentions Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers. The Old Testament speaks of Seraphim and Cherubim. Theologians throughout the ages, Saint Thomas Aquinas in particular, reasoned that there are particular groupings, orders, or choirs of angels, nine in all.

      Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones are dedicated to the praise and worship of God. Dominions, Virtues, and Powers carry out God’s providential designs for the universe. Principalities, Archangels, and Angels are assigned to the care of human beings and their salvation.

      As messengers of God’s providential love, angels can enlighten our minds and inspire our wills so that we are better able to respond to the graces they bring to us from God. We can use all the help the good angels provide to overcome the powers of darkness and the spirit of evil active in our world today. We need the angels to assist us in our daily struggles to live upright and devout lives. Who among us doesn’t experience crises of all kinds—health issues, friends or family members struggling with addictions, financial setbacks, unemployment, the loss of a loved one, depression? Angels, channels of God’s love and compassion, convey a sense of peace and security along with an assurance of daily strength and courage to face difficult situations. We can think of angels as companions on a journey that leads us beyond this world to our home in heaven. They remind us of the things that are really important in life so that one day we can join them in heaven to praise God for all eternity. In the here and now, we can thank our loving God who placed these heavenly spirits at our service, and we can honor the angels with our devotion and gratitude.
