III Angels a vast troop at our disposal
Enlisting the Angels Help St Peter Faber is an excellent model of using angels in spiritual battle.
“St. Peter Faber was just one man, but he had an army of guardian angels on his side. Peter travelled on foot through Germany, Spain, and Portugal to preach and teach. Whenever he entered a new town, or region to speak, Faber asked for help from his guardian angel and the guardian angels of all the people who would hear him speak. Their combined spiritual power was very effective. St Peter Faber liked to call himself “God’s broom”. He felt that God was using him to sweep away sin, indifference, and errors of the faith.”

Reflects own life sees angelic intercession and assistance in own life. More engaged with guardians see this more. Have a guardian angel feast, Jesus says children’s angels before the Father every day. Such a consolation in the midst of things going wrong.

In heaven, we add nothing to glory, but in Dante angels become more illuminated by cooperating with them.
Only 1/3 angels fell. Good out numbers bad 2:1. Angels know that the fight is greatly outnumbered.

Incidental, parking space or preaching of the Gospel by Fr. Faber.

Help us find lost children. Tremendous help.
