How angels thus keep us we cannot tell. Whether they repel demons, counteract
spiritual plots, or even ward off the subtler physical forces of disease, we do not know.
Perhaps we shall one day stand amazed at the multiplied services which the unseen
bands have rendered to us. TD91:11
If you had eyes to see, you would perceive a bodyguard of angels always attending
every one of the blood-bought family. WC30
If two angels were sent down to earth, one to rule an empire, and the other to sweep
a street, they would have no choice in the matter, so long as God ordered them. WC50
There is not an angel in heaven with whom the meanest saint might wish to
exchange estates, for though the angels excel us now, we shall certainly excel them
in the world to come: we shall be nearer the eternal throne than any one of them,
inasmuch as Christ Jesus is our brother and not the brother of angels. He is
God-and-man in one person, and there was never God and angel in like union. 1466.186
The angels in heaven are humble because they remember who made them and kept
them angels, for they would have been devils in hell if God had not preserved them in
their first estate. 3202.294
The angels will know their Master’s property. They know each saint, for they were
present at his birthday. 3393.76
