Book Review of The Saint Michael Chaplet – A Divine Catechesis on the Angels and Gifts of Heaven by Carol Puschaver

Arm Yourself For Spiritual Battle Too many of us Catholics know very little substantively about our Faith. We know even less about the nine choirs of angels, their powers, our need for their assistance, and St. Michael the Archangel. Very few of us appreciate the fact that each of us is engaged in a spiritual battle every day of our earthly lives to save our souls – a battle we cannot expect to win without the Eucharist, the Rosary and angelic assistance. Thankfully, author Carol Puschaver has gathered into one little power-packed booklet, the essential information we need to educate ourselves and to better understand the role of these angelic beings. Learn about the nine angelic choirs, the role of St. Michael the Archangel and the power and graces that flow from daily recitation of the St. Michael Chaplet. Arm yourselves and your loved ones with a copy of Carol’s book, The Saint Michael Chaplet – A DivineCatechesis on the Angels and Gifts of Heaven . Don’t be blind-sided by th...

“I remain unknown. I am left alone. Even those who claim to profess the mystery of my real presence in the Sacrament of the Altar forsake Me. I am treated with a terrible indifference, with coldness, and with a lack of respect that causes the angels to weep because they cannot offer Me reparation for the coldness and indifference of human hearts. Only men can make reparation for men. What is lacking is the loving response of a human heart to My Eucharistic Heart, pierced, alive and beating in the Sacrament of the Altar. Only a human heart can make reparation for a human heart. For this reason, the angels are sorrowful. The adoration and the praise they offer Me is angelic. It is the expression of the perfections I have placed in their angelic nature. Without ever dying, they immolate themselves before Me in the tabernacles where I dwell on earth by lowering themselves in the most humble adoration and by placing all their angelic perfections – their beauty, their strength, ...

(Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center Norwood, OH ) "God sets many angels in our paths but often we know them not; in fact we may go through life never knowing that they were agents or messengers of God to lead us in to virtue or to deter us from vice. But they symbolize that constant and benign intervention of God in human history, which stops us on the path to destruction or leads us to success or happiness."   (From Guide to Contentment )       [Just one of 1200 inspiring quotations you will find in Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! - Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct  --- Get your copy here ]
