In the visions of  God's Glory granted to the prophets there are always spiritual beings who are usualy in motion around God. Jesus too talks of angels ascending and descending. Mary's total obedience to God's will at the Annunciation was relayed by an angel; Gabriel carried her "fiat"into heaven. At the Nativity crowds of Angels sang their joy at the Glory of God.

There is not much more that can be said about this order of being which definitely is not human and must therefore be  called supernatural for it is unknowable to our human senses. We know that they are real for God has often used them as messengers to inform his people on earth of his intentions beyond our comprehension. 

The overweening pride of Angels is seen as the advent of evil into God's created being and no matter how long I live and pray to be only in the presence of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the non-created Evergreater Glory and Love,  I have a resentment that my best intentions, my commitment my sincerity are  perpetually at war with the non-human source of the sin of our race. 

Our Father in heaven knows that as Job, I do not curse him but more than Job can only be totally awed by the human life of Son in Jesus and his continuing Eucharistic Presence. God  is Evergreater, Power and Glory and also Evergreater Humility Love and Mercy which he shares with each human body and soul especially with those who are damaged by sin to the extent that their pride leads them to deny the Word and refuse the Mercy that has been poured out endlessly on Calvary.

Dear Lord lead me not into temptation but deliver me from evil. Let me stay true to your teaching and know that there is no danger in life greater than the refusal of your merciful love. Let me focus on your cross and your Mother present with you at every moment of your humanity and may she with all the Angels and Saints lead us to victory against the evil one the creator of Evil and Enemy of God.
