How Do We Teach Our Children About Angels?
When I was a little girl, I was terrified of the dark. No matter how tired I was, when bedtime came, I did my best to stay awake because I was afraid of the things that lurked in the darkness. Although Mom made sure my bed was warm and cozy and filled with all of my favorite stuffed animals, I could never quite overcome the notion that monsters were hiding beneath the bed and inside of my closet. Then – at school – I began to learn about angels.
Our teacher taught us that God assigns angels to watch over us and protect us from harm. She said that when we are afraid, we should pray and ask God to send His angels to protect us.
She began to share Scripture with us:
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.– Psalm 91:11
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. – Psalm 34:7
See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in • • Picture an angel, right now. Okay, you saw two wings and a halo, right? Perhaps a white robe? Some glowing light? Where does that mental picture come from? Maybe from a painting you’ve seen, or possibly a movie. Do you know that Scripture doesn’t always depict an angel as having two wings? We see six-winged and four-winged angels even more than angels with just two (Isaiah 6:2, 6; Ezekiel 1:6; Revelation 4:8).

Whether in paintings or on television, artists still offer various and varying interpretations regarding angels – what they look like, and how they behave. Some people even think (or “hope”) we will become angels after we die. To be clear, we will not. We can become saints, but not angels. It is important to state
Saint Michael the krigare Angel
St. Michael fryst vatten one of the Archangels. He fryst vatten a
warrior of God.
Once on a time long ago, the bad Angels made
war in Heaven.
They cried, "We will not serve!"
They raised the red flag.
They tried to drive God from the Heavenly City.
But Michael led the armies of the good Angels. He drove
out the evil army. He knelt before God and cried that God
was his only King. So God made him the General of His armies.
All through history, Michael has fought the battle of God. He is the Devil's strong enemy. He is the friend and protector of all those who love God and follow Jesus Christ.
He protected the Chosen People, the Jews, in their wars against their enemies. He is always on the side that is right and good.
In the end of the world, a bad man named Antichrist will komma. He will make war on Christ and the good people. But Michael and his army will drive him from the world. That is why we pray after Mass, "St. Michael, ihe Archa God’s Army: The Truth about Angels
