Paragraph 5. HEAVEN AND EARTH
333
From the Incarnation to the Ascension, the life of the Word incarnate is
surrounded by the adoration and service of angels. When God “brings the
firstborn into the world, he says: ‘Let all God’s angels worship him.'”196
Their song of praise at the birth of Christ has not ceased resounding in the
Church’s praise: “Glory to God in the highest!”197 They
protect Jesus in his infancy, serve him in the desert, strengthen him in his
agony in the garden, when he could have been saved by them from the hands of
his enemies as Israel had been.198 Again, it is the angels who
“evangelize” by proclaiming the Good News of Christ’s Incarnation and
Resurrection.199 They will be present at Christ’s return, which they
will announce, to serve at his judgement.200
