Angels have no capacity for death and therefore cannot be canonized as such. Objection 3.

Further, Holy Mother Church makes a distinction between those whom she knows, through:. On the Contrary the Catholic Church, which apparently is the arbiter of who is numbered among the Saints, has consistently referred to the angels as Saints. Mor Gabriel Monestary is one of the oldest surviving Churches in the world, dedicated to St.

I answer that, the term saint is a qualifier used to mean holy but a canonized Saint is an office, as is Angel. Angel is a job title meaning messenger of God. Just as a person can be both a computer programmer and a father, one can be an Angel and a Saint. Reply to Objection 1 the words used in the sacred liturgies, whereas they are unsurpassed in beauty and reverence, are not, in and of themselves, theological treatises.

Therefore, if you hear Jesus referred to as thrice Holy, that isn't to say He isn't also holy four times over as well. Reply to Objection 2 It is true that the relatively recently established norms of canonization are more or less ignored when it comes to Biblical figures, when it comes to those who do not need the grace of Christ's redemption to save them from death, the Ox says. Now a multitude ordained to one end, with distinct acts and duties, may be metaphorically called one body. But it is manifest that both men and angels are ordained to one end, which is the glory of the Divine fruition.

Summa III And so, a thing that separates us from the Angels the ability to die does not separate us from becoming Saints any more than it separates Angels from being Saints. Reply to Objection 3. Lastly, the Church, through Holy Scripture knows which of the Angels clung to the true light The Trinity or the false light Lucifer because those who clung to the truth are the heroes of the Bible. Raphael aids Tobias on his journey and saves him, his future wife's honor and his father. Michael wrested from Lucifer the body of Moses and preserved the holy man from scorn.

Gabriel, best of all, announced the birth of Christ to Mary. But, to even accomplish this task, they must have gotten their orders from God Himself and therefore "merited beatitude" as the Ox says:. It remains, then, that both man and angel merited their beatitude. Simplest answer is probably grammatical: One Greek word hagios becomes two in English, "holy" adjective and "saint" noun, title. A saint is someone who has been sanctified.

Do We Become Angels When We Die?

That is, they have been made holy or sacred, or have been purified. This process implies beginning from a state this is something less. Angels are beings that exist in Heaven, and have always existed in heaven. This implies that they are without sin, and have been from the time of their creation. It would be impossible to sanctify such a being, because there would be nothing to change. They are already pure.

The good news is that this line of reasoning also implies that angels already have sainthood in the ways that matter most. The triumphant St. Michael , by Dosso Dossi , 16th century. Michael and fallen angels Rubens , 17th century. Johann M. Rottmayr , St.

    Angels Are Not People Who Died—Man Has a Far Greater Purpose and Future

    Views Read Edit View history. One of the things that He tells us about that we always seem to forget is that angels are real! Not only are they real, but we each have one guarding us at this and every moment. How well do we actually know these invisible guardians, though?

    You are here

    One of the things in the Bible that seem so commonplace is the presence of angels. Every time I stop and think about them, I find myself fascinated by the fact that I have a guardian angel. Both cases are incorrect. This assumption of a body is sort of like how we dress up for Halloween; except their costume is perfect I can never get my costumes the way that I imagined them.

    For angels, they just know that God loves everyone instantaneously. They have insights constantly. Because of this, they are constantly contemplating things such as humans, other angels, and God. Because angels are so smart, they find things very humorous. The more knowledge you know, the more puns you can make, the more things are ironic, and you are amused by more things. As in each and every single angel is unique and different from any other angel, so much so that each angel could be considered a different species. This means that every angel has their very own, very different personality.

    It naturally follows that love follows knowledge. Because angels have the power to think they are conscious and the power to choose they have free will ; angels will the good of us, which is the precise definition of love. They have no other motive except to see us in heaven, where we belong. Even when they are paying attention to us, they are glorifying God and receiving whatever God wants them to know. Since they are beings outside of space, they can be present to more than one thing at any moment.

    This means that they operate on earth without ever leaving heaven. Because they are more like God than we are, they are more beautiful, because God is Beauty. Artists try and capture the beauty of angels, but they will always fall drastically short because there is nothing in this world that can describe or show such beauty.
