*** *** *** These messengers from God protect, guide, and do battle for us. Scripture has revealed accounts of angels and St. Thomas Aquinas wrote at length about angels in the Summa Theologica.

– “For he will give his angels charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.” (Ps 91:11)
– “‘Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.’ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.” (Lk 22:42-43)
– “For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done.” (Mt 16:27)
