Wednesday Study
Entertaining Angels: Every Sunday, Roman Catholics (like many other Christians) stand to profess their faith in the God who created “all things visible and invisible.” We also confess our sins in the presence of “all the angels and saints.” But how often do we really think about these unseen creatures who are always ready to help us?
In 10 well-researched lessons, Mike Aquilina and Fr. Mitch Pacwa draw on the saints, the Catechism, and Scripture to remind you of the precious gift God has given us in the good angels. You will also find that learning about them helps you discover more about the God who created them!
Discover that angels are spiritual, personal, and immortal creatures, with intelligence and freewill, who glorify God without ceasing and serve him as special messengers of his saving plan!
- Wednesdays, Sep 13 – Nov 15
