Angel Quotes, Sayings and Verse

Inspiring Angel Quotes

These angel quotes give different peoples views, ideas and experiences of angels.

Nowadays, more and more people are accepting that angels are real. According to a Gallup poll taken in 2004, 78% of Americans believe in angels and I'm sure that it is even higher now.

When people talk of Angels they don't always just mean the traditional winged messenger, some people are describing celestial beings of light and love, and then there are those 'ordinary' people who perform miracles, or who appear at just the right moment to help someone and then disappear.

I was present at such an experience - I was born at home and at the moment of my birth, my mother saw an intense Being of Light in the room. She describes it as 'Our Father' and says that she felt an immense and un-describable feeling of love. The midwife didn't see anything, but obviously believed her as her partner (a vicar) came to visit the next day to hear all about it.

My mum didn't tell me of her experience until I was an adult. Since then I have always felt honoured that a 'Light Being' made it's presence known at my birth and I love to hear of other people's 'spiritual' experiences.

St Augustine 354 - 430 Angel Quotes

Angels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become angels when they are sent, for the name angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit, you ask its office, it is that of an angel, which is a messenger.

Make friends with angels.
