ANGELS

Question: I’ve heard that we become angels when we die. Is this what the Church teaches? Answer: As human beings, we are both spiritual and corporeal. We are body and soul. This makes us unique in all creation. No other physical creature — plant or animal — possesses an immortal soul made in God’s image and likeness. Like the distinction with plants and animals, angels have an entirely different sort of existence. Angels are pure immortal spirit, and they have been so since the moment of their creation. While they may take on an appearance of a body in Biblical history, they are not a body like we are. Angels are neither male nor female, despite the art we often see.

As the result of the Fall, human beings experience death. Our souls are temporarily separated from our bodies. However, we do not become something other than human. Every Sunday in the Creed we profess “I believe in the resurrection of the body.” As Jesus was united with his body on the third day, so too will we be united with our bodies at the end of time.

ÁNGELES Pregunta: He oído que nos convertimos en ángeles cuando morimos. ¿Es esto lo que enseña la Iglesia? Respuesta: Como seres humanos, somos tanto espirituales co-mo corpóreos. Somos cuerpo y alma. Esto nos hace únicos en toda la creación. Ninguna otra criatura física — planta o animal — posee un alma inmortal hecha a imagen y semejanza de Di-os. Al igual que la distinción con plantas y animales, los ánge-les tienen un tipo de existencia completamente diferente. Los ángeles son puro espíritu inmortal, y lo han sido desde el mo-mento de su creación. Si bien pueden tomar una apariencia de un cuerpo en la historia bíblica, no son un cuerpo como no-sotros. Los ángeles no son ni hombres ni mujeres, a pesar del arte que a menudo vemos. Como resultado de la Caída, los seres humanos experimentan la muerte. Nuestras almas están temporalmente separadas de nuestros cuerpos. Sin embargo, no nos convertimos en algo más que humanos. Todos los domingos en el Credo profesamos "Creo en la resurrección del cuerpo". Así como Jesús se unió con su cuerpo al tercer día, así también nosotros estaremos unidos con nuestros cuerpos al final de los tiempos. ©LPi

Mary Magdalene, sometimes called Mary of Magdala, or simply the Magdalene or the Madeleine, was a woman who, according to the four canonical gospels, traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and its aftermath. She was mentioned by name twelve times in the canonical gospels, more than most of the apostles and more than any other woman in the gospels, other than Jesus's family. Mary's epithet Magdalene may mean that she came from the town of Magdala, a fishing town on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Roman Judea. The Gospel of Luke 8:2–3 lists Mary Magdalene as one of the women who traveled with Jesus and helped support his ministry "out of their resources", indicating that she was probably relatively wealthy. The same passage also states that seven demons had been driven out of her, a statement which is repeated in Mark 16. In all the four ca-nonical gospels, Mary Magdalene was a witness to the crucifixion of Jesus and, in the Synoptic Gospels, she was also present at his burial. All the four gospels identified her, either alone or as a member of a larger group of women which includes Jesus's mother, as the first to witness the empty tomb, and the first to witness Jesus's resurrection.
