“The Angels, Gracious Light of Soul,
bending near the earth
in me
touched the golden harp strings
of my heart
and the worlds
in silent obeisance lay
to hear their voices:
"Peace and Joy!
Peace and Joy
unto All!"
Upon this midnight clear
I listen to their
Word
resounding,
still.”
Swami Kamalananda
“Praise be to Allah, who created the heavens and the earth,
who made the angels, messengers with wings.”
Qur’an, Fatir 35:1
“Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created.”
Psalms 148:2-5
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
Luke 2:8-10
