In the afterlife we are “like the angels” says Christ. We pray to St. Michael to thrust into hell satan and all the evil spirits. We refer to St. Joseph as, among other titles, Terror of Demons. Etc.

The saints named and unnamed who have gone before us, per Catholic teaching, are still involved in our protection through their prayers to God. Are they also involved, as the angels with Michael, in opposition to the demons. Do they accompany us after Death as the angels too and protect us from the demons as we journey through the afterlife to eventual union with God.

Realize I’m probably getting into loosely defined territory here but can anyone elaborate further. The combat/struggle between the St. Michael, the angels, departed saints, what writing/teaching exists about that. Visions, encounters, so on and so forth from various saints.

For example do we have saints who as part of their prayer life, mystical experiences, etc. saw the demons being hurt, damaged, fought against, in a quasi literal way, by themselves or other saints.

Examples would be greatly appreciated.
 
Im not sure I undserstand what you are talking about but I believe the minute we die we are thrust into the after-life we are then greeted by Angel’s especially the one’s who have protected and followed you all your life.
We are then taken to meet God wherever he chooses (Probably a place your heart will find beautiful. like for me I will be in a beautiful desert oasis but with no heat!)
And we are then allowed to ask any question we can think of then. We then get a grand tour of the place and BAM we are now in paradise and do whatever happens there (whatever it is I am absolutely sure it will be great.)

You probably meet your family who has passed before you sometime in my above schedule.

And after all that your now just waiting for the rapture to happen.

So again sorry if off topic!

Have Faith.
 
There is a Communion of Saints, so whichever saint you pray to, that saint is mystically connected to every other saint.

So yeah, if there are saints to handle whatever demons there are, if one saint hears your prayer they can call the others, at least that’s what I say now.

Last night I was reading on St. Faustina and I read the following :

“When I began to say the chaplet, I saw the man dying in the midst of terrible torment and struggle. His Guardian Angel was defending him, but he was, as it were, powerless against the enormity of the soul’s misery. A multitude of devils was waiting for the soul. But while I was saying the chaplet, I saw Jesus just as He is depicted in the image. The rays which issued from Jesus’ Heart enveloped the sick man, and the powers of darkness fled in panic. The sick man peacefully breathed his last.

Which is along the lines of what I was looking for. Wonder if there is more like this. In this case she was in this life but battling with what was beyond for the salvation of souls.

I guess this is what I’m trying to find.
