I liked the very concise & detailed explanation of how the angel studies were done by the Church, the history of the angels, all the different types of angels & their duties (good & bad), the hierarchies, tying info to scripture & tradition, the importance of talking/praying to our guardian angel daily, invoking the angels, going to Adoration, etc. Everyone likes angels, but I didn't realize there was so much info, & how to join the good side to fight the fallen angels! MOIRA - HOUSTON, TX
I enjoyed the full explanation and the prayer to St Michael. Gary - Ormond Beach, FL
This was an eye opener....thank you so much!! Gracie - Robstown, TX
I loved hearing about the different kinds of angels. After hearing this talk I fell in deeper love with my guardian angel and St. Micheal the Archangel. Fascinating stuff! Edgar - Ripon, CA
I listen to it twice to absorb all the info. It was very interesting to earn about my guardian angel. Southern Pines, NC
As a Catholic, I was not taught the importance of the Angels. The talk enlightened me regarding our guardian angel and the link between the angels and God. Jamie - Edmonton, AB
Outstanding! I've listened to this CD over three times and I continue to learn more each time. It gives me a deeper understanding on the Angels. Thank you. ISABELLA - Denton, TX
I have to admit, as old as I am (62) I still had the juvenile image of an angel as a human person, dressed in long flowing robes and big fluffy wings. It was so exciting to finally wrap my head around the extreme creativity of our Creator God. This expanded my view of an already huge God. Bonnie
This is a wonderful talk! I can honestly say that since listening to this, I've been more mindful of interacting with my Guardian Angel and have a deeper love and appreciation for the gift to us from God that they are! Pelham, AL
I was looking to be informed and this talk fit the bill. Alan - Belgrade, ME
I always enjoy learning more about the Angels. I kept the Chaplet of St Michael on my Ipod so I can say the prayer everyday. Thank you! Judy - Woodbury, MN
I was fascinated by the descriptions of the 9 choirs and what their purpose is. I have started to pray the chaplet on my way to work every day. I hope for a lot of help from my angel and those of my family and friends. Brigid - Ann Arbor, MI
This CD is a must to hear!!! We often forget about the angels, yet they are surrounding us and helping us in our journey. I didn't know myself about the different choirs of angels and this talk had shed the light on an area that I am not very familiar with it. Many thanks for a wonderful talk! Claudia - Glen Allen, VA
It is wonderful to have a deeper understanding about angels as these were not taught in this depth at church or in my catechism class. Thank you for sharing this important talk. Liane - ON
This is a topic I always wondered about and I've shared my thoughts with others. Great CD. mary - vero beach, FL
I never realized the importance of angels in our daily lives. I now never miss a day without asking God to send guardian angels to be with all of my loved ones all over the world. I am so thankful to have learned and believe in angels. Russ - Pensacola, FL
This cd explained the choirs of angels in layman's terms. I will listen to it again and again. Colleen - Faribault, MN
The whole CD was amazing! I enjoy the fact that now I can ask my guardian Angel to come with me to Adoration and to guide me in adoring as Heaven adores. Georgia
I totally appreciated the explanation about Angels in general, as I didnt truly understand how important they truly are to us. Wow, it was enlightening. I learned alot from this cd, I will hear again for sure! Thank you! Isela - Coolidge, AZ
This talk has encouraged me to establish a relationship with my guardian angel, to commit to an adoration hour, to recite the prayer of consecration and to regularly recite the chaplet of St. Michael. JB - Calgary, AB
As a convert, I always pictured pretty cherubim and maybe even some seraphim - but had no idea of the Scriptural basis or STRENGTH or calling of the angels. I also learned about what scholars believed was the moral test for the angels and what (they think) made Lucifer fall. It was stunning! Siobhan - Orange, VA
What I loved most is that it explained the history of the whole good and evil origin and at the same time we get a hindsight of how the kingdom of our Heavenly Father works.It is important for us Catholics to know such things and share with our kids for they love to know of these stories and when they hear it at a young age it sticks with them for life. I love it. I am going to listen to it again and again. CATHRINA - VICTORIA
very informative without being mushy and over sentimental which most material on angels seems to be. great stuff Xanthe - Salisbury
The talk reminded me of the importance of my Guardian Angel John - Hamilton, ON
I am assuming that a rating of 10 is the highest. The concept of my being given to my guardian angel as his only charge through my life and for all eternity is life-changing for me. I so appreciated the survey of the hierarchies and the choirs and what they do. I have a chaplet of St. Michael but it is difficult for me to read the prayers because I am legally blind. I am thrilled to have the chaplet in an audio version that I can pray with. Linda - Heyburn, ID
I had no clue about the choirs of angels! This talk really helped me and my wife understand. Zachary - Gulf Breeze, FL
This CD told me things about the angels that I never knew. I enjoyed the Chaplet. I wish that we could get more chaplets on CD's. I enjoy walking & listening to the CD's. I also enjoy saying the rosary with the CD as I walk. I do not have to carry anything but my player. Thank-You Leona Leona
This was very educational. I didn't know about the many levels and duties of all the angels. How to connect with our guardian angels was informative and I will put into practice. The prayers afterwards were wonderful. Sue - Amsterdam, NY
The presentation was profound and informative. The explanation of the sacred order/hierarchy of the Angels was great. I have now consecrated my life to the Angels and a commitment to pray the chaplet of the st Michael everyday. It was a rewarding gift during my visit to the United States. PAUL - Lagos
I loved: -learning about each choir of angels specifically -the importance of being friends with our guardian angels and how much that relationship was stressed -the Saint Michael chaplet that followed at the end Deb - Aurora, IL
A wonderful talk about something so forgotten. We become so tied to earthly things, and we forget about the beautiful creation of the angels. This was a well put together talk, and very informative about God's creation of the choir of angels. Learning about them can help put our earthly lives into perspective. Karli - Bay Saint Louis, MS
I was compelled, once I started, to finish the entire CD. I knew nothing of the Angels and now, I say the Chaplet to Saint Michael daily. I have gained a much greater understanding and respect for God's precious Angels. I highly recommend this for all Catholics. Glendon - Peoria, AZ
The talk was easy to follow even while partially distracted while driving a car. It was so FULL of information. This is one of the CDs that I just wanted to keep for myself and keep listening to over and over again instead of giving away to someone else. Jade - Mukwonago, WI
I loved it. I loved learning about our angels. Beth - amsterdam, NY
I had always heard our Priest say "Thrones and Dominions" in the prayers at mass and I didn't realize that he was referring to Angels. Tomah, WI
This talk lets us know exactly what the Church says on angels and what theologians say. Its hard to always find the correct answers but this talk explains angels in a very clear way and tells us why They are so important Patrick - St. Charles, MO
Greatest single resource to explain the angels, their structure, their origin, their relationship to us, etc. The chaplet is an excellent resource. Kevin - Wichita Falls, TX
I have always been fascinated by the angels especially my guardian angel. I have always worn a guardian angel pendant since my great grandmother gave it to me as a child. I was very interested to hear the job of all the different choirs of angels, especially Archangel Raphael. Sandy - Glendora, NJ
The talk was very informative and I will have to listen to it more times to absorb the vast amount of information. I had never heard most of this before. It has given me a new perspective and respect for the angels. Ina - Nappanee, IN
I sincerely love this talk. I listen some parts quite often and I use the chaplet to St. Michael every night. This is very needed in the Church now and I wish our priests knew the value of angels to their ministry Chelmsford, MA
I enjoyed a very detailed description of angels, and explanation of how to build a relationship with our guardian angel. Also the chaplet of St. Michael at the end. Gabriela - Columbus, MT
I knew a little about angles,but nothing like what I learned. The best part was learning about my own guardian angle. My husband always said God would need help keeping track of a world that never ends so this makes so much sense. I missed a little of the program and would love to have a CD of it. I liked the support of the bible, but I missed how the knowledge of the nin choirs was but together and by whom. Eileen - Hoyt, KS
I stumbled upon The Chaplet of St. Michael and had been praying it for a while - I loved the new depth this cd has given me. Claudia - Bolingbrook, IL
There was so much information about the angels and it was well put together. the prayer at the end was wonderful. Max - Bandera, TX
Basic information about Angels. Karen - Lincoln, NE
educational, informative, something we catholics share also with the Muslims : the existence of malakhs, angels who speed at his command to guide, protect, inspire those who are entrusted to them. Every good thought and the movement of the will to do good comes from the guardian angel, prompted by the Holy Spirit. Very reassuring to know that we have a host of angels, the reality of the invisible, the unseen. Antony - quilon
It was very interesting to finally hear about different kinds of angels and the hierarchy that exists. I enjoyed the scriptural references. Andy - New Brighton, MN
it was extremely informative. Wilner - Miami, FL
It was explained in very easy words that can be understand by most people. Mariela - Austin, TX
This talk has motivated me to get to know and love my guardian angel more. Rachelle - Tarneit, VIC
We listened to this talk on a family drive and learned a lot about the important roles angels especially guardian angels play in our lives. Nathan - Mencken, ND
Angels are not something that are often talked about. I enjoyed not only hearing the facts but also how we can have a relationship with our own guardian angel. This is something that had not occurred to me and I am sure I will work on it now. Thomas - Gardner, MA
Dr. Mark Miravalle was very clear spoken on all the angels and I especially like that he incorporated the Chaplet of St. Michael at the end. Will listen to it again and again Suzette - Mesa, AZ
I liked learning about the 9 choirs of angels. I loved this cd and passed it along to some friend to listen to and they also loved it. Julie
This was mostly all novel information to me. It really challenged me to break out of my physical relationship with creation and examine my spiritual relationship with creation; namely my Guardian Angel. The consistent honest citation of where information was gathered was helpful (as to not misquote understandings of great wise doctors of the Faith as Teaching of the Church. paso robles, CA
Important, informative and educational! James - Exton, PA
I did not know the names and positions of the Nine Choirs. I have wanted to get to know more about the angels for some time. It was very important to me to have this information received from a Catholic source. Thank you! Diane - Harrisburg, PA
I have always known there are guardian angels in our midst, but now I understand their purpose and importance! After listening to this CD I pray the chaplet of St. Michael every morning before praying the rosary. I have listened to this CD over and over and have shared it with family and friends. Doreen - Orlando, FL
Because of this talk, I was inpired and moved to have a devotion to my Guardian Angel, the nine choirs of angels, and to St. Michael. Needless to say, I now pray the Chaplet of St. Michael every day. Gary - Coquitlam, BC
Angels are not usually included in routine catechesis, so I found the CD very informative as an introduction to angels. Angela - OH
This is a subject we have not thought about for such a long time - we really got too big for our boots and smiled when people talked about angels. Father T - Maryport
It was a great new insight into the hierarchy of GOD's angels and their influence in our lives. So well presented! Lee - CO. Lee - Johnstown, CO
It is a subject matter that is seldom talked about at mass and I really enjoyed learning something new and potentially helpful in my daily life. Tania - Pasadena, MD
I found the Saint Michael’s Chaplet 20 Plus years ago and say it before Mass on Sunday. The CD gave me more of a reason to pray the Saint Michael’s Chaplet, and pray / ask my Guardian Angle to protect / guide me and my family. David - Bay Saint Louis, MS
wow this is great i lead it to my friend . its all about the angels great. patricia - WA
Dr. Miravalle did a fantastic job explaining the beauty of the 9 choirs of Angels. I knew very little before the CD and now I am doing research of my own to know and understand them even more! I shared the CD with my father and he loved it too. It is very interesting, intriguing, and a great listen. Hunter - Santa Clarita, CA
Tremendous amount of solid content. Gave further resources for additional study: "Opus angelorum". Dr Miravalle made it personal with an invitation to grow spiritually in getting to know our own guardian angel as well as assist the angels. The bonus of the chaplet of St. Michael wonderful. He also stated the benefit of praying the chaplet. Plan on giving this CD title as gifts. Anna - New Port Richey, FL
It was short. It was to the point. It was informative. It outlined what was the official Church teachings and what was not. Joseph - Pocahontas, AR
I am studying the Scriptual Angels with Catholic Scripture Study and it fits right in and I learned a few more things. Rosemary - Richardson, TX
Several years ago a priest, visiting Franciscan U, and knowing my love of my guardian angel told me about a consecration through Opus Sanctorum Angelorum he discovered by sitting in on a lecture. I found OSA, attended their retreats and consecrated myself to my Guardian Angel and all holy angels. Now I am able to hear the talk that Father was privileged to hear in the first place. I have heard the inspiring words from the doctors and fathers of the Church and Sacred Scripture concerning the angels. My love for the angels has grown even deeper. Thank you Dr. Mark Miravalle for your extensive research and gift to me and the Church. Kathy - Chula Vista, CA
I love the way each hierarchy of angels were explained. And also learning how important our Guardian angels are too each of us individually. Veronica - Victoria, TX
This was the most detailed audio cd on this subject I have found. Dr. Mirabelli is outstanding. I went and bought the book after listening to this. Greg - Henderson, NV
I would be here at the computor all day if I were to give feedback on all the talks I have purchased on mp3 from Lighthouse Catholic media. I have them playing in the care while I drive, have them on my cellphone so if waiting around anywhere I can listen to them, also while I am working on my laptop often will play them as I work. The all rate 10/10 : The subjects are well covered and filled with information that would not otherwise be easily accessed. They are a wonderful source of catholic teaching and presented in an interesting and thought provoking manner. The Parish priest is only able to take a short time to deliver his homily and it's usually on the gospel and not catholic tradition or teaching. The other avenues of gaining instruction that are faith building has previously been to purchase expensive books. So I am truly grateful for the provision of these mp3 talks which enable immeasurable growth in faith and understanding. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH Linda - Auckland
I really liked learning about the angels. I wish there was more available about the angels - it seems a lot of angel resources tend to fall into the "New Age" category and there is very little available to learn more about angels. Cecilia - Vienna, Austria, AE
I really liked this talk because it is about a topic that is extremely important but often not thought about. It is important for Christians to know about angels and how to grow in a relationship with one's guardian angel. I feel bad for the vast majority of people who have no idea that they have their own guardian angel who has been waiting for them since the beginning of creation. This talk was very enjoyable and very informative. Brittany - Timber Lake, SD
Dr. Miravalle gives an excellent presentation of the nine Choirs of Angels. I am a Baptist/protestant praying about converting to the Catholic Church, and Dr. Miravalle provided excellent clarification for me especially regarding my Guardian Angel. I was not taught this in the protestant church, therefore I found this CD to be most helpful in providing a real understanding about Angels. I would recommend this CD, especially if someone desires a better understanding about their Guardian Angel and how to establish a relationship which will last for eternity. Frederick - Woodstock, GA
the prayers; the explanation of each choir, the history, the Chaplet at the end... Have listened to you countless times...learn something new each time...or reminded me of what i already knew and brought it to the front of my mind... Staci - Jersey City, NJ
I didn't know very much about angels. I mean I knew from songs about seraphim, and cherubims (sorry for the spelling) But this tape was so informative and I learned so much Loveland, CO
I love my guardian angel, he told me his name one night after I simply asked. I thought maybe it was my imagination. However the more I asked of him the more he was there to help and help quickly! This talk reaffirms and reminds me how lucky we are too have these helpers! Linda - Hastings, MN
very informative about angels and gives practical advice about developing relationship with guardian angel Liza - Indianapolis, IN
Extremely informative. Have always prayed to my guardian angel and frequently pray the prayer to St. Michael the archangel after mass but I had very limited knowledge of the nine choirs of angels. I don't think they are mentioned in detail in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Thank you for a very informative and inspirational talk. Had never heard of consecration to the angels- beautiful. Prayed the chaplet to St. Michael the Archangel on EWTN and now understand the distinction among the nine choirs. Thank you so much. Very inspirational. Josephine - Monroe Township, NJ

Although I have always had devotion to the angels, I was educated through this CD in a way that solidified my devotion as not just someting pious but genuinely sound in doctrine and Church tradition. I made the personal commitment recommeded by Dr. Miravalle, and I also purchased his book. This session prompted me to attend Mass more often during the week and to pray before the Exposed Eucharist several times a week. Emmy - Everett, WA
I had just taught the nine choirs in the CCD class I am teaching and I wanted to learn more. Also, I am really inspired by the consecration to guardian angels. The explanation of the power of the side of good and the side of evil was very understandable. Ann - Eau Claire, WI
It was very informative. I was always interested in angels and it explained and informed me about them in many ways. There is so much information that I have listened to it more than once. Melanie - Southgate, MI
The reminder of the importance of angels in our daily life, especially our recourse to them in helping us to draw closer to God. Lynn - Glen Carbon, IL
I really enjoyed this talk, it was straightforward, easy to follow, and very interesting. Angels are not something that are covered in Sunday school or while attending Catholic school. Dr. Miravalle also keeps it interesting where you want to continue to listen. I would recommend this CD not only to our fellow Catholics, but to others as well. Gabriel - Hutto, TX
Angels are often a bone of contention for many Protestants converting to Catholicism. I was not the exception. I concentrated first on getting through my hang-ups with Mary and then began concentrating on angels. While accepting the doctrine, I was still full of doubt about guardian angels and their role with humans. It's a nice children's story but... It seemed too much emphasis was placed on angels and the echos of "angel worship" hovered in my mind. Explaining the choirs of angels,how they are referenced in the Bible and their roles in the spiritual realm hit me between the eyes. My resistance shattered, I am now ready to delve into the book my spiritual director recommended over a year ago. Did I mention my resistance? Dr. Miravalle managed to break through the barrier. Diana - Hollywood, MD
It was more information than I have ever heard about angels. They are rarely spoken about in church. I found it so informative I went and ordered his book. I have long had a devotion to guardian angels but learned much more here about all the angels. I was unaware of their differing roles. Evanston, IL
I think that we need to know more about the angels,because they are a gift from God to help us know and serve God better. Marie-Bernadette - Lebanon, PA
Finding out that our guardian angels have been waiting for each of us to be born since the beginning of time was amazing to find out and to contemplate that! Fran - Hamilton ON., ON
Very informative and presented in a very logical way. I enjoyed the presentation very much. Baton Rouge, LA
clarified information that was confirmed by the Catholic Church with information the theologians agree upon, but is not Church doctrine. The information was clear and organized, so I have a"structural" understanding of the choirs. Diane - Broomfield, , CO
My confirmation saint I chose St. Michael the Archangel and I didn't know that he had his own chaplet until a few years ago (I was confirmed over 20 years ago). I thought I knew all there was about the angels and clearly this CD proved me wrong. This has inspired me to become close to my guardian angel too. I have always been intrigued by the angels of God. I am a Director of Religious Education and can now explain more about the choirs of angels to the children who attend Sunday school. Thank you! Kandace - Klamath Falls, OR
The total explanation of the angels. The different hierarchies and choirs. I never knew about them or the different tasks given to them by God. I didn't realize how important our own guardian angels are to us and how we should develop our personal relationship with them. I loved this not only for it's educational value but also for helping to understand more about God's love when He gave us our own angel. Lorraine - Dudley, MA
A lot of the talks I know some things about, but this is a talk about a subject I really knew nothing about. No one talks about angels, or explains angels, in Catholic books or at Mass. This was very interesting to learn about something I knew absolutely nothing about yesterday. Makes me wonder what else is out there in the Catholic faith which I don't get exposure to. Mike - Gastonia , NC
I didn't know much about angels before listening to this talk but so it was a great way to learn some basic info on them. Also I will start praying to my guardian angel more often now. Adam - Dexter, MN
Real solid Catholic teachings on the importance of Angels and how they are essential part of our spiritual growth and protection. Have listened to it many times and always get new information from it each listen. Paul - Barrie, ON
I learned a lot about angels Intrid - Elyria, OH
I find this topic intriguing and informative. Melanie - Southgate, MI
