HOW OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE

ANGELS HELPS TO EXPEL DEMONS

W
e must also ask about angelic
communication with us if they can
communicate, and if so, how, and what
they know about us especially as their knowledge
of creation is beyond our comprehension and we
being part of that, it includes our daily activities.
To this end, St Thomas says that angels know all
there is to know about us “from the post of an
observer who needs no relief, misses nothing, forgets
nothing.” This can seem a bit disconcerting,
especially because the same goes for the evil
angels.
It does not end there because as St Thomas
says, “angels can penetrate our imagination and
memory.” This means that angels can enter into
our imagination and memory in ways that no
person could. We often daydream and reminisce
about the things of the past, especially those fond
memories from long ago. At the same time, some
people might reminisce or fantasize about sexual
encounters or other sins committed.
