St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Long Beach - - Angels and the Spiritual Life In St. Paul’s letter to the Colossians we read in chapter 1 beginning with verse 15 that “Christ is the image of the invisible God. The firstborn of all creation. For in Him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through Him and for Him.” Angels and the spiritual life is a look into all the realms that make up the created order. Who are all the players, how do we interact with each other and what impact does it all have on our relationship with God, with each other and on our salvation.
