IN BRIEF
350 Angels are spiritual creatures who glorify God
without ceasing and who serve his saving plans for other creatures: "The angels
work together for the benefit of us all" (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I,
114, 3, ad 3). 351 The angels surround Christ their Lord. They serve him especially in the accomplishment of his saving mission to men. 352 The Church venerates the angels who help her on her earthly pilgrimage and protect every human being. 353 God willed the diversity of his creatures and their own particular goodness, their interdependence and their order. He destined all material creatures for the good of the human race. Man, and through him all creation, is destined for the glory of God.
354 Respect
for laws inscribed in creation and the relations which derive from the nature of
things is a principle of wisdom and a foundation for morality.
