In this session we learned that the higher choirs of angels were on fire in love and proximity to God. The lower level were in more direct service to man, also in love of God and man. We considered this in light of Martha and Mary and who chose the better part. We ponder the saints who declared that mankind will replace the fallen angels in heaven at every level. We considered whether those in constant prayer have an unseen Holiness that is truly great; even compared to those in obvious service. We then reflected on the prayer of humility passage…”that others may become holier than I provided I become as holy as I should be” so as to not judge or envy.
