Lives Saints Angels

Elizabeth Klein, assistant professor of theology at the Augustine Institute, leads us through a soul-inspiring exploration of Catholic teaching on angels and saints and why they matter to us as individuals and to the Church. Throughout the book, Klein answers common questions about the angels and saints in order to give us a deeper understanding and appreciation of the role they play in our lives, the Mass, and in the life of the Church.

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 audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance.

Revelation always brings revolution and the revelation contained in this book is truly revolutionary! This is not a concept conceived by the author, but Dr. Ron Horner carefully unveils a mystery lost shortly after the early church. It is not a sci-fi book. It is based in a realm of reality of an unusual nature–a dimension of the unseen. This mystery involves how human spirits still lingering on the earth long after their human host has ...

Our Lord ascended into Heaven; and his followers, filled with the Holy Spirit, set out to spread his word of hope to the people of God. But you can understand, then as now, the enemy Lucifer, leader of all the fallen angels, has never wanted this good news to be heard; his plan, from the time of Genesis, has been to rob us of relationship with our Creator. We would like to bring you only a few of the many occasions where angels have played an important role in the lives of the saints.

Everyone has an angel story, or so it seems, but the Catholic Church has some pretty spectacular ones, especially those that are found in the lives and legends of the saints. Starting in earliest Christian times with Gregory the Great and finishing in the 20th century with one of the Church's newest saints, Padre Pio, Partners in Holiness: Guardian Angels in the Lives of the Saints tells the stories of nine men and women who grew in virtue and holiness with the assistance of their angels.

This work involves the apparitions, visions, and appearances of angels and saints to both privileged religious and lay people...and more!
