There are more spiritual beings, good and bad angels, than we can imagine. We cannot see what is really here, all the time.
We cannot see the saints, the martyrs, Mary, the Trinity, except for Christ hidden in The Eucharist, in the Body and Blood.
We cannot see history or the future. We only have the present moment.
What is unseen is much, much bigger than what is seen.
We cannot see the powerful choirs of angels, both those who worship God and are good, and those who hate God and us and are bad. Remember, angels from all the choirs, all the thrones and various levels fell. Some are in hell. Some wander the earth.
We cannot see those disembodied spirits, those damned souls, who, for our holiness and growth, are allowed to be on the earth.
We cannot see most things which are real. Well, most people cannot see these beings.
Sometimes we can see the work of these beings.
It is interesting to me that years ago, many years ago, one could find protestants writing about heaven, hell, and yes, some, purgatory.
Where are those teachers, those pastors now who would preach the reality of what is unseen as being just as real and BIGGER, more vast, than what is seen?
We are in a daily battle. We are in combat. As the Church Militant, we fight not only those enemies of Christ who hate the Church who are human, but those millions of demons who hate God and His Church which we mostly cannot see
If you are complacent about spiritual warfare, wake up.
If you are in mortal sin, wake up. What you would see if you could now see the spiritual world, would change your life.
Here are the words of Christ:
Luke 16:19-31 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz′arus, full of sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz′arus in his bosom. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz′arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz′arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.’”
