After receiving Holy Communion, a window to heaven opened for a moment. The King of Mercy sat on the throne, surrounded by seven angels who were ablaze. At first, I could not interpret it. Angels worshipping and ablaze, or burning in worship? I recognized one of the seven angels: it was Saint Michael the Archangel. I wrote this to my spiritual advisor, who then sent me the following, which refers in particular to the fourth verse of the hymn:
Gotteslob 2013, No. 539:
1) God, holy Lord of all creation,
for the glory and honor of your kingdom,
you have appointed the host of angels,
chosen them for high service.
2) They stand far around your throne;
you are their life, their crown.
Their radiant host calls out mightily:
Who is like God—who is like him?
3) They always behold your face
and rejoice in your light.
Your sight makes them strong and pure;
your holy breath envelops them.
4) They are clothed with wisdom;
they burn, they shine, they worship.
A great praise resounds in chorus.
Their “Holy, Holy” rises up.
5) You send them out as messengers:
your word goes out into the world.
Great is your power in them;
they are your arm that works wonders.
6) Let your angels be around us;
guide us, great and small, through them,
until we stand with them there in the light,
one day before your face.
