“The breath of peace was fanning her glorious brow, her head was bowed a very little forward, and a tress, escaping from its bonds, fell by the side of her pure white temple, and close to her just opened lips; it hung there motionless! no breath disturbed its repose! She slept as an angel might sleep, having accomplished the mission of her God.” LittlesMightSidesSleepWhitePureAngelBreathsLipsMissionsGloriousAccomplishedTemplesHungDisturbedReposeBrowsEscapingTresses Author:Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Mary has the authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven. As a reward for her great humility, God gave her the power and mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride. Such is the will of the almighty God who exalts the humble, that the powers of heaven, earth and hell, willingly or unwillingly, must obey the commands of the humble Virgin Mary.” MadeEarthChristianHeavenHellHumilityPrideHolyAuthorityAngelBlessedRewardsSaintHumbleMissionsCommandMaryAlmightyThronesVirginsAlmighty GodVacantVirgin MaryHoly Mary Author:Louis de Montfort
“God has created me to do him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission; I never may know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I have a part in a great work; I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling.” IfsKnowsMayPersonsNextWorkMy OwnCallingAngelConnectionsCommittedMissionsChainsThis LifeLinksPreacherCommandmentsDefiniteGreat Work Author:John Henry Newman
“Angels are spirits on mission, and that mission is God's. So, we can say that God, out of his love, sends angels to aid us in our redemption. Angels are sent for our redemption, and that redemption leads us all the way into the heights of worship.” WaySpiritWorshipAngelMissionsAidsRedemptionHeightHis Love Author:Scot McKnight
“Some think we each have a guardian angel while others think we don't have an assigned guardian angel, while yet others think God at times - but not always and not by assignment to each of us - sends an angel on a mission of guarding. The Bible's evidence that each of us has a specific, assigned guardian angel is not as solid as some think, so I'm with those who think sometimes God sends guardian angels but that we don't have a specific guardian angel.” ThinkingSometimesEvidenceAngelMissionsGuardianAssignmentsGuardian AngelGuarding Author:Scot McKnight

“To some, the image of a pale body glimmering on a dark night whispers of defeat. What good is a God who does not control his Son's suffering? But another sound can be heard: the shout of a God crying out to human beings, "I LOVE YOU." Love was compressed for all history in that lonely figure on the cross, who said that he could call down angels at any moment on a rescue mission, but chose not to - because of us. At Calvary, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice. Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.” HumansDoeSaidMomentsBodyPainNightSufferingSoundTermJusticeDarkHuman BeingsHeardLove YouCryFiguresSonFitAngelCrossesLonelyDefeatMissionsAcceptedDiscussionRescuePaleSchemesPain And SufferingDark NightCalvaryUnbreakable Author:Philip Yancey
“Suddenly Saffron had a picture in her mind of Sarah waiting at the bottom of the wall, and she was angry with herself. Something changed in Saffron at that moment. She knew all about feeling left out.... That was why she wanted her angel so badly; proof that she mattered as much as anyone else. "I couldn't really climb the wall," she said. "And if I could, what if I got caught? What would I say?" "You'd think of something." "No. It was a stupid idea. Let's try your way, early in the morning." "Before breakfast?" "Yes. All right Mission Control?" "All right," said Sarah.
