A Benedictine Monastery
Angels are real, spiritual beings who exist as messengers and servants of God. This retreat will provide a general overview of angelology while looking at the writings and teachings of St Thomas Aquinas, Church Tradition, and the Scriptures to “flesh out” these mysterious beings of pure intellect. Utilizing the question/answer format from Dr. Peter Kreeft’s book “Angels (and Demons) – What do we really know about them?”, we will attempt to answer many questions on the matter ranging from “Do angels know our secret thoughts?” to “Why would a good angel choose to become a devil?” This is an important subject in our Christian belief as the existence of angels is a dogma of the Catholic faith.
Presenter: Fr. ANGELUS ECHEVERRY, OSB, has been a monk of Valyermo since 2011. He has a Master’s degree in Classical Music Composition and is currently an Organist and Choirmaster. He has a deep love for what he calls “The four ‘M’s’ of my life”: Music, the Mystical life, the Holy Mystery that we call the Trinity and Mary, the Blessed Virgin, Mother of God.
