“Let us affectionately love His angels as counselors and defenders appointed by the Father and placed over us. They are faithful; they are prudent; they are powerful; Let us only follow them, let us remain close to them, andin the protection of the God of heaven let us abide.”
~ St Bernard of Clairvaux
The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue. Therefore, if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels.
~ St Gregory the Great
Invisibly, through the ministry of angels, the Spirit of God, whom even the mind’s eye cannot see, baptizes into himself both our souls and bodies, giving us a new birth.
~ Didymus of Alexandria
“I am Rafael, one of the seven angels who stand and serve before the Glory of the Lord … A king’s secret should be kept secret, but one must declare the works of God and give thanks with due honor. Do good, and evil will not overtake you.”
~ St Rafael the Archangel ( Book of Tobit )
Hello!
I was wondering this week when and why did they decide to call the Archangels saint.
I would think that being a saint would correspond only to a human being; isn’t being an angel already pretty good?
Is there any biblical base for it?
Have a wonderful day of the Lord!

Hi Trinidad . The title saint is for those we know
are holy and are in heaven. Since the angels
are both holy and in heaven they have that title.
