From the sayings of StMARI EPHRAIM EL SOURIANYabout Angels

Prayer is converse with God, equal honor with the Angels, progress in good things, averting of evils, righting of sinners.

"The Seraph could not touch the fire's coal with his fingers, but just brought it close to Isaiah's mouth: the Seraph did not hold it, Isaiah did not consume it, but us our Lord has allowed to do both."
