[The Archangels] are God's messengers. They bring God to men, they open heaven and thus open earth. Precisely because they are with God, they can also be very close to man. Indeed, God is closer to each one of us than we ourselves are. The Angels speak to man of what constitutes his true being, of what in his life is so often concealed and buried. They bring him back to himself, touching him on God's behalf. ~Pope Benedict, 9/29/07 Homily
In the presence of the angels I praise you, Lord!
~Psalm 138:1
