St. Peter Parish Rosary Program The 3rd and last group of the angelic choirs includes the Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Together they are God’s servants for the world and are directly involved in human affairs as guardians (Psalm 91:9-12; CCC 336; Matt 18:1-4, 10). They can also intercede for us in prayer (Tobit 12:12, Revelation 5:8 and 8:3). These angels love us and do everything within God’s Will to protect us from harm, but when we sin (disobey) God we also reject their help. Principalities are the highest choir in the lowest order of the angelic hosts and have authority over the angels and archangels. They are concerned with the salvation of mankind. Certain Principalities watch over important communities, cities and nations along with influential princes and bishops. It is thought that the Principalities played a leadership role in the momentous conflict where “Michael and his angels fought with the dragon,” (Apocalypse 12:7)/ ~Catholic teaching on Angels -Knights of the Magisterium and Catholic Online school.
