1 " The Bible talks primarily of two kinds of angels- Cherubim and Seraphim. But there is a third kind of angel. If you ever find yourself troubled, suffering or in despair, God may send you this third type of angel. These angels are called...'friends. "
― José N. Harris
2 " Listen, she said, " cherubim have come to my planet before." " I know that. Where do you think I got my information?" " What do you know about us?" " I have heard that your host planet is shadowed, that it is troubled." " It is beautiful," Meg said defensively.She felt a rippling of his wings. " In the middle of your cities?" " Well-no-but I don't live in a city." " And is your planet peaceful?" " Well-no-it isn't very peaceful." " I had the idea," Proginoskes moved reluctantly within her mind, " that there are wars on your planet. People fighting and killing each other." " Yes, that's so, but-" " And children go hungry." " Yes." " And people don't understand each other." " Not always." " And there's-there's hate?" " Yes." She felt Proginoskes pulling away. " All I want to do," he was murmuring to himself, " is go some place quiet and recite the names of the stars... "
3 " A robin redbreast in a cagePuts all heaven in a rage.A dove-house fill'd with doves and pigeonsShudders hell thro' all its regions.A dog starv'd at his master's gatePredicts the ruin of the state.A horse misused upon the roadCalls to heaven for human blood.Each outcry of the hunted hareA fibre from the brain does tear.A skylark wounded in the wing,A cherubim does cease to sing.The game-cock clipt and arm'd for fightDoes the rising sun affright.Every wolf's and lion's howlRaises from hell a human soul.- " Auguries of Innocence "
4 " The Church is the Body of Christ, and as such it is both heavenly and earthly. The Church is the communion of saints, and it includes as members both angels and shepherds - cherubim and seraphim, and you, and me. "
― Scott Hahn
5 " In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith? "
