Angel quote

We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you.

The Angels' Little Instruction Book: Learning from God's Heavenly Messengers


When God sends his angel to the soul it becomes the one who knows for sure.

MEISTER ECKHART

Sermon 9, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church


Hold the fleet angel fast until he bless thee.

NATHANIEL COTTON

But angels come to lead frail minds to rest in chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound. You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within; you stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak.

The more devils we have within us, the more chance we have to form angels.

Angels and Demons can't cross over into our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. A single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch and those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance.

KEVIN BRODBIN, MARK BOMBACK & FRANK CAPELLO

Constantine


I believe angels are among us, bringing comfort, strength, healing, freedom and, most importantly of all, providing a stepping stone to the larger reality that is God's Kingdom--to the very heart of God.

JUDITH MACNUTT

introduction, Encountering Angels: True Stories of How They Touch Our Lives Every Day


Angels have immense auras, extending in some cases, like a mountain Deva, for miles. The historical attribution of wings to angelics is probably the result of the subconscious minds of human seers "clothing" the auras of angels with a form that their conscious minds could comprehend.

Entertaining angels unawares: It is always we who are to entertain the angels, and never they us. I cannot, however, think that an angel would be a very entertaining person, either as guest or host.

SAMUEL BUTLER

Notebooks


If men were angels, no government would be necessary.

There are nine orders of angels, to wit, angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim.

GREGORY THE GREAT

Homilies


If angels stoop from visions of more than earthly beauty to spells of less than earthly worth, they are but fallen angels, mingling divine utterances with the babblings of madness, and the madness is not the divineness.

Even among the angels, there is the sadness of division.

NICOLE KRAUSS

The History of Love


An angel can illuminate the thought and mind of man by strengthening the power of vision, and by bringing within his reach some truth which the angel himself contemplates.

Cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from ye door.

WILLIAM BLAKE

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

LUCIANO DE CRESCENZO

attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing


We should, can and most of the time do communicate with God directly. To my knowledge, angels are not necessary for anything. But God's creation is abundant, and asking "Why angels?" would be like asking why there are thousands of varieties of trees or stars, when we could get along with so much less. God Himself told us many times that He was sending angels to love and care for us, so He is the one who brought them into our lives. Therefore, even if we don't understand their entire purpose, I vote that we pay attention to them.
