News about the Angels

Manchester, NH August 17, 2011 With the memory of Jesus fresh in their minds (and of the angels who ministered to Him), the Fathers of the Early Church wrote countless pages about the energetic actions of the angels. They showed how the mighty angels undertook their divinely-appointed mission from the instant of Creation through the time of Jesus . . . and they foretold the work of the angels that goes on today, and will continue even unto the end of time. In the writings of these saints who lived not long after Jesus and the burst of angelic activity that accompanied His brief time on earth, you'll find not a hint of the cuddly angels whose images grace so many teacups and towels today, or of angels depicted as magical young men who wander our cities performing random acts of kindness. On the contrary, these early saints were acquainted with the crushing power and fearful majesty of the angels; they understood that God endowed the angels with these virtues to equip them for the formidable tasks He gave them: not only defeating Satan, but shepherding souls, guiding nations, and, yes, even governing the motions of the material universe itself. * That even in the 21st Century all these things are the work of angels --- along with so much more --- is news to modern men . . . and even to many faithful Catholics. Because it should not be news, the late French Cardinal Jean Daniélou gathered from the works of the early Fathers of the Church countless ancient truths about the angels, and wove them into a compelling narrative in a slim volume entitled, The Angels and their Mission. The Angels & Their Mission Jean Cardinal Daniélou 144 pgs pbk $14.95 From its pages, you'll learn why real angels have to preface almost every human encounter with the words, "Fear not!" You'll come to know not merely the history-making roles they've played in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and even in other religions; you'll discover their activity in the Church today, in the Sacraments, at the time of your death, in the Second Coming, and in your own soul --- even at this very instant --- as you ponder whether angels are something you really need to know more about, or not. Your angel knows that you do, and the Church's saints agree, including those Cardinal Daniélou turns to in this book: Origen and Eusebius, Sts. Basil, Ambrose, and Methodius; St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Clement of Alexandria, and St. John Chrysostom (among others). Trust these saints who were on familiar terms with the angels. Turn to their words. Soon you'll be as close to the angels as these saints were; and the angels will finally begin to play in your life the great role that God intends them to play. *Jean Cardinal Daniélou, S.J. (1905-1974) was a French Catholic theologian, historian, and author. Among his works are God and the Ways of Knowing and The Bible and the Liturgy. Toward the end of his life, he devoted much of his time to the poor.
