Mont Saint Michel Archangel Saint Michael Part III - Monastery Pilgrimage To Normandy. - France Saints Santos Christian Pilgrimage Travel

 

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, we continue today with our conversation on the seven monasteries devoted to the Archangel Saint Michael.  What insight can you share with us about the third stop, "Mont Saint-Michel" in Normandy, France?

"Pure monastic spectacle! Once you can ascend to the "heavenly sacred abbey' away from the hectic and crowded tourist village below, you are immediately in another realm.  Mont Saint-Michel is a jewel in the pilgrimage crown.  In my eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story,' a major mystical event culminates there in the battle between 'the 'Sons of Light vs the Sons of Darkness.' Some of the pictures below stir the imagination:

Question: There's a dark past with Mont Saint-Michel and a famous 19th century author interceded.  Who was it?

"During the 19th century, Mont Saint-Michel became a prison overshadowed by the darkness of war.  The antithesis of spiritual peace which graced the abbey walls for hundreds of years was gravely threatened.  Then a miracle occurred when novelist, Victor Hugo, writer of the monumental opus, 'Les Misérables,' convinced Napoleon to move the political prisoners to another location."

Question: It is as if Saint Michael the Archangel defended the abbey from battle?

"Well, there was another spiritual battle during WWII when the German forces invaded France and subsequently returned darkness upon Mont Saint-Michel by utilizing it as a prison once again.  Thank goodness, evil was overcome and decades later, the Benedictine Order aided by the prayers of Saint Michael the Archangel returned sanctity to the abbey."

Mont Saint-Michel Abbey In Normandy France - Armor of Light A Trilogy Story - Archangel Saint Michael - Spiritual Battle

 

Mont Saint-Michel Abbey in Normandy, France

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, why did you choose the Mont Saint-Michel abbey as a location setting in your eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story"?

"The ancient abbey of Mont Saint-Michel near Normandy, France, is enigmatic and immediately leads one to imagine sacred splendor.  The architecture is jaw-dropping as you can see by the pics below:

"Mont Saint-Michel captures the imagination with endless possible stories.  You will enjoy the storyline in "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" as the abbey provides a fitting crescendo for the first book in the "trilogy within a trilogy"series. Today, there is a small contingent of monks who manage the abbey.  They are able to maintain sanctity despite the millions of tourists which descend upon Mont Saint-Michel every year."

Question: Peter, your book features mystical encounters with the angels.  Do you often pray to your guardian angel?  

"Great question! Did you know Mont Saint-Michel is named for the Archangel Michael? You can call upon your guardian angel and Saint Michael the Archangel when you become fearful as he is one of the seven archangels around the throne of God. The prayer to Saint Michael is essential and can provide comfort. Never forget, your guardian angel is with you!"

"A most blessed 'Feast of the Ascension" everyone!"

"I send you out on a mission of love and know that I AM with you always until the end of the world."

Armor of Light A Trilogy Story - Peter Arnold's Christian Mystical Angelic Adventure Ebook Series - If you were summoned by an angel would you go?

  

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, did you enjoy the research process when developing your forthcoming eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story"?

"Absolutely! I've been curious my whole life. I'm fascinated with sacred archives and hidden dusty monastic libraries. Some day if it's the Lord's will, I would like to visit the Vatican Research Archive.  Primary research is imperative versus over relying on digital search engines. God bless Mrs. Ching, my advanced comp class high school teacher, she taught us the importance of primary research.  I was writing a term paper on skydiving and boarded a 1938 rickety twin engine former military plane with a group of skydivers photographing them as they fearlessly bolted out into the sky.  It was certainly an immersive and formative experience."

Question: Tell us about the above pic, where were you?

"I'm standing at the foot of the great temple of Pharaoh Ramesses II, in Abu Simbel, Egypt.  Massive scale designed to intimidate! Here's another pic of me (below) standing inside the inner chamber.  It resonated with me mystically for years and is a plot destination within 'Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story.'"

In the Valley of the Kings (above) . . .  the entrance to King Tut's tomb! 

Question: Were you a young "Indiana Jones?"

"Oh yes, with a blend of Howard Carter! Where's the nearest ancient archaeology dig? Now I'm obsessed with biblical archaeology.  Did you know Pontius Pilate's name was found in the 1960's on a 2,000-year-old ring during an excavation of Herodium ( an ancient fortress and palace south of Bethlehem )? "

Question: While we're on the subject of biblical archaeology, please share your interest with us on the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Is there a particular scroll found in the Qumran Caves that's most intriguing to you?

"Yes, the 'War Scroll' which describes a future cosmic battle between the 'Sons of Light' versus the 'Sons of Darkness.' Scholars have interpreted the scroll as a foreshadowing of the future Roman army invasion which eventually destroyed Jerusalem in 70 C.E.. It's still fascinating to imagine an angelic eschatological cosmic battle in the future which I explored in my book, 'Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story.'"
