So, Yesterday was the Feast of the Archangels. On October 2nd the Church honors our Guardian Angels.
So,What the Church Teaches about Angels?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (328) notes the existence of angels, spiritual beings are “a truth of faith.” They are celestial without bodies and separate from saints, the exemplary men and women who have walked among us.
The Catechism (329) also quotes St. Augustine, “Angel is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is ‘spirit’. He also said, “angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they ‘always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven’ they are the mighty ones who do his word, hearkening the voice of his word.”
If you don’t have a copy of The Catechism of the Catholic Church, you can access it online through the Vatican. For the section on the Church’s teachings on angels (320-354) for to: https://usccb.cld.bz/Catechism-of-the-Catholic-Church/
