“The angels are present here. The angels ánd the martyrs meet today. If you wish to see the angels and the martyrs, open the eyes of faith and look upon this sight.
For if the very air is filled with angels, how much more so the Church! And if the Church is filled with angels, how much more is that true today when their Lord has risen into heaven! The whole air about us is filled with angels. Hear the apostle Paul teaching this, when he bids the women to cover their heads with a veil because of the presence of the angels.”
And again, in regard to the Resurrection, he writes:
“It is not only earth, but heaven as well which has part in today’s feast... The Angels exult, the Arch-angels rejoice, the Cherubim and the Seraphim join us in the celebration of today’s feast... What room is there for sadness?”
mogen de engelen u geleiden naar het paradijs
dat de martelaren bij uw komst u zullen ontvangen
en u binnenleiden in de heilige stad Jeruzalem
moge het koor van de engelen u ontvangen
en moge u met Lazarus, eens een arme
de eeuwige rust ontvangen
