Description: The Angels and Their Mission by Jean Danielou These pages draw from the early Church Fathers to show us who the angels really are, and how - in every instant - they are working for your salvation and mine. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The truth about angels -- according to the Fathers of the ChurchFrom St. Augustine to John Henry Newman, the greatest among the saints and men of God have lived on familiar terms with the angels; and the Church has always accorded them a very large place in her theology.Recent theologians have dwelt on dry questions about the nature of the angels, but the early Fathers of the Church, with the memory of Jesus fresh in their minds (and of the angels of whom He spoke often) were fascinated with the energetic action of the angels among men and the ways in which the angels have carried out that mission from the instant of Creation through the time of Jesus; and how they will continue their work even unto the end of time.From the works of these early Fathers of the Church, the late French Cardinal Jean Daniélou has drawn forth threads of knowledge and wisdom which he has here woven into a lucid and bright tapestry that shows us who the ministering angels really are, and how--in every instant and in every way--they are working for your salvation and mine.Here youll find no sentimental cherubs: the Fathers knew that majesty and power cloak actual angels, which is why God gave them the formidable tasks of shepherding not only souls, but entire nations, and the motions of the entire material universe itself.Open these pages to meet the glorious angels as they were known by the Churchs greatest saints and theologians: Origen and Eusebius, and Sts. Basil, Ambrose, Methodius, Gregory of Nyssa, Clement of Alexandria, and John Chrysostom (among others).Soon you, too, will find yourself on familiar terms with the angels, and theyll begin to play in your life the larger role that God intends them to play.
