In this episode of the Podcast we speak with Randy Engel, present to us through her writings. As Catholics we accept the reality of a twofold existence – we exist both in our essence and our operations this is illustrated by the angels; their operations are two fold, they exist where the operate at: Their operations are twofold: knowing and loving.

There are 9 choirs of angels, each choir is distinguished by their capacity for service. This means the angels are arrayed in cascading and descending levels of capacities for service much like you see water cascading over a waterfall, of graces cascading from the altar of Christ’s sacrifice. The upper level of Angels known as Seraphs contain the greatest capacity for service. They serve the will of God through their loving and knowing. The Seraph inform the lesser Cherubic class of Angels, since these angels have a lesser capacity for service in terms of their capacity to know and love, and in turn the Cherubs inform that choir of angels that are directly below them in similar cascading fashion.

This is significant when we see Michael contesting with Lucifer over the body of Moses in the Hebrew Scriptures. Michael an archangel defeats in this battle over the body of Moses, a greater force in terms of Lucifer whom we have come to know as satan, a prince of angels at the apex of angel perfections possessing the qualities of a seraph at the top of that Choir hierarchy, in terms of capacity for service, in a life of knowing and loving, except that Lucifer was tested and failed the test to serve, to bend the knee and submit to the will of Our Father, and in doing so others imitating him and in similar fashion refused to serve Our Father on bended knee, and was consequently ejected forcefully from Heaven by the lower caste Angel Michael who remained obedient to the will of Our Father and in so doing Michael was infused with a capacity sufficient to the task at hand to win the struggle over both, the scope of Lucifer’s dominion and Moses body.

SPECIFIC MEANS OF PERFECTION:

Fr. Adolphe Tanquerey, S.S., D.D; The Spiritual Life, 1932, 296-300.

For our limited purposes: two-fold division:

The Path: Reality of Orders, a Life Ordered to God in imitation of and an attempt at mirroring the state of Original Justice that existed before the fall.

Diocesan: Orders – Clergy

Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life: The Religious Orders:

Carmelites, Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits: Walking more closely with your hand in the hand of Jesus in specific imitation of the Jesus: Praying, Doing Good to others, Preaching Jesus, and Jesus dialoguing with the world.  The orders provide a Rule of Life that will further detail in specifics how the Mindset of the Church is set to expect from you specific behaviors the one professes to consecrate their entire life in a commitment of love in an effort at Union with God specifically the Will of God, The Memory of God and the Intellect of God, through the Theological virtues of Charity, Hope and Faith.

Life on The Path: Fr Thomas Dubay S.M., divides this life in terms of the Three Conversions, Carmel divides this life on the path in terms of the Purgative, Illuminative and Unitive.
