Paragraph 5. HEAVEN AND EARTH
332
Angels have been present since creation and throughout the history of
salvation, announcing this salvation from afar or near and serving the
accomplishment of the divine plan: they closed the earthly paradise; protected
Lot; saved Hagar and her child; stayed Abraham’s hand; communicated the law by
their ministry; led the People of God; announced births and callings; and
assisted the prophets, just to cite a few examples.194 Finally, the
angel Gabriel announced the birth of the Precursor and that of Jesus
himself.195
