Did you know this about angels?

First mention of angels in the bible:
“The angel of God, who had been leading Israel’s camp, now moved and went around behind them.”
~ Exodus 14:19

Other mentions of angels in the bible:
“Thus says the Lord: ‘See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to this place I have prepared.”
~ Exodus 23:20-23

“The Lord sent his angel and rescued me.”
Psalm 34 (Acts 12:11)

“The Lord has put angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.”
~ Psalm 91

“In the presence of the angels I will bless you.”
~ Psalm 138:1

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”
~ Matthew 18:5, 10

“Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
~ John 1:51

An early church promoter of Guardian Angels:
“Each and every member of the faithful has a Guardian Angel to protect, guard, and guide them through life.”
~ St. Basil the Great (+ 378)

Another advocate of the Angels:
“Angels are proof that heaven denies us nothing that assists us and these celestial spirits have been placed at our sides to protect us, instruct us, and to guide us.”
~ St. Bernard of Clairvaux (+ 1153)
