Angels
Angels are personal, spiritual and immortal creatures with intelligence and free will, who glorify God unceasingly, and who serve God as messengers of His saving plan. Angels, according to Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews, are “spirits whose work is service, sent to help those who will be the heirs of salvation” (1:14). The word “angel” means messenger. They are God’s messengers first of all, but their service is broader and is ideally portrayed in Saint Raphael, who accompanied the son of Tobit. “Do not worry, my sister,” Tobit assured his wife, . . . “for a good angel will go with him. His journey will be successful, and he will come back safe and sound” (Tob. 5:20-21).
