Illustration: PICTURES OF ANGELS
“In this, therefore, brethren, let us affectionately love His Angels as one day our future co-heirs. Meanwhile, however, as Counsellors and Defenders appointed by The Father and placed over us.
Why should we fear under such Guardians ?
Those who keep us in all our ways can neither be overcome nor be deceived, much less deceive.
They are faithful; they are prudent;
they are powerful; why do we tremble ?
Let us only follow them, let us remain close to them, and, in the protection of The God of Heaven,
let us abide.”
– from a Sermon by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.
