Angels and Demons Peter Kreeft

[dizzy_dave]

I remember hearing the show called “Angels and Demons: are they real” on Catholic Answers live with Peter Kreeft. In one part of the radio show Peter Kreeft said the Demons do NOT have senses, no eyes, no ears, etc. So how can they tempt us, for that matter how do they even know where we are, so then for that matter how can they know the state of our soul? I also read at the time of our death the demons intensify there efforts to make us sin at the hour of our death, therefore I’ am assuming they know when we will die, so does our Guardian angel know our time of death too? I’m sorry I guess I had several questions here. Thanks, God bless.

They’re pure spirit, like angels. They don’t need senses because they are not in he physical world. Senses are what our physical bodies use to take in information. Our souls do not have senses–and neither do demons and angels.

I also read at the time of our death the demons intensify there efforts to make us sin at the hour of our death, therefore I’ am assuming they know when we will die, so does our Guardian angel know our time of death too?

Here, i would say they know the hour of our death just as a doctor would. When someone’s on their deathbed, they would know. Now, I’m sure we have Our Lady and all the Angels and saints on our side, so i wouldn’t worry.

If you’re worried about demons, I suggest saying a little prayer to St. Michael now and then.

Also, try the St. Michael Chaplet. Check out the promises, they’re pretty cool:

PS: I love this painting by Raphael. If I ever feel under attack, I just imagine St. Michael doing some stomping
