The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls "angels" is a truth of faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition.
St.Augustine says: " 'Angel' is the name of the office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is 'spirit' ; if you seek the name of their office, it is 'angel' : from what they are, 'spirit,' from what they do, 'angel'. " With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the "mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word."
A purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness.
From infancy to death
human life is surrounded by their
watchful
care and intercession.
Besides each believer stands an
angel as protector
and shepherd
leading him to life.
Already here on earth
the Christian
life shares by faith
in the blessed company of angels and men
united
in God.
It is only
with the heart
that one can
see rightly.
What is essential
is invisible
to the eye.
Antonie de St.
Exupery
Peace be in thy home
And in thy heart,
Or if thou roam
Earth's
highway wide,
The Lord be at thy side,
To bless and guide.

Today is a gift.
It is mine, to do with as I choose.
The next 24
hours
hold unlimited possibilties...
For God is with me.
And today-
just for today-
I know we can do all things.
We alone, of all God's creatures,
Laugh when things delight.
That's because our quickened senses
Know the wrong from right.
He's the
source of jubilation
Found in me and you.
Even when we laugh at blunders,
God is smiling too.
God Smiles

Dear freinds, let us love one another,
for love comes from God. Everyone
who
loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does
not know God,
because God is love.
