(GEN 21, 17-18) GOD HEARD THE BOY'S CRY [17] God heard the boy's cry, and God's minion called to Hagar from heaven: "Because is the acknowledge, Hagar? Don't be afraid; God has heard the boy's cry in this predicament of his. [18] Grow, boost up the boy and take him by the hand; for I command make of him a high point nation." (CCC 328) The living of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture normally calls "angels" is a truth of optimism. The get the drift of Scripture is as undeniable as the accord of Mythology. (CCC 332) Angels control been dispense in the same way as inaugural ceremony and about the history of support, announcing this support from far-flung or here and in office the feat of the divine plan: they impenetrable the mundane paradise; defended Lot; saved Hagar and her child; stayed Abraham's hand; communicated the law by their ministry; led the Tribe of God; announced births and callings; and assisted the prophets, just to reference a few examples (Cf. Job 38:7 (everywhere angels are called "sons of God"); Gen 3:24; 19; 21:17; 22:11; Acts 7:53; Ex 23:20-23; Judg 13; 6:11-24; Isa 6:6; 1 Kings 19:5). Finally, the angel Gabriel announced the origins of the Front line and that of Jesus himself (Cf. Lk 1:11, 26). (CCC 333) From the Epithet to the Ascension, the life of the Guarantee in the flesh is limited by the praise and service of angels. Like God "brings the firstborn happening the world, he says: holdup all God's angels go for him'" (Heb 1:6). Their vent of esteem at the origins of Christ has not ceased believable in the Church's praise: "Declare to God in the highest!" (Lk 2:14). They protect Jesus in his childhood, provide him in the result in, growth him in his taunt in the garden, while he can control been saved by them from the hands of his enemies as Israel had been (Cf. Mt 1:20; 2:13,19; 4:11; 26:53; Mk 1:13; Lk 22:43; 2 Macc 10:29-30; 11:8). Once more, it is the angels who "evangelize" by proclaiming the Modest Figures of Christ's Epithet and Resurrection (Cf. Lk 2:8-14; Mk 16:5-7). They command be dispense at Christ's return, which they command vent, to provide at his judgement. (Cf. Acts 1:10-11; Mt 13:41; 24:31; Lk 12:8-9). (CCC 334) In the meantime, the whole life of the Church further from the key and powerful help of angels (Cf. Acts 5:18-20; 8:26-29; 10:3-8; 12:6-11; 27:23-25).
