• Meditation
  practice begins by sitting down and assuming your seat cross-legged on
  the ground. You begin to feel that by simply being on the spot, your
  life can become workable and even wonderful. You realize that you are
  capable of sitting like a king or queen on a throne. The regalness of
  that situation shows you the... dignity that comes from being still and
  simple.

• The word of God has provided nine explanatory designations of the heavenly beings... the first group is forever around God and is said to be permanently united with Him ahead of any of the others and with no intermediary. Here there are the most holy 'thrones' and the orders said to possess many eyes and many wings, called in Hebrew the 'cherubim' and 'seraphim'... The second group... is made up of 'authorities,' 'dominions,' and 'powers.' And the third, at the end of the heavenly hierarchies, is the group of 'angels,' 'archangels,' and 'principalities.'

  Pope Francis
