10. The angels speak to God in a different way, as we are told in the Apocalypse of Saint John: they say, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power, divinity, and wisdom." For the voice of the angels raised in praise of the Creator is, in fact, the wonder of interior contemplation. Having become speechless before the miracles of the power of God means that one has said that one's heart has experienced emotions with reverence, and the sound of these voices is loud to the ears of the unembodied spirit. This voice is, as it were, made up of individual words, although it is formed from innumerable kinds of wonder. Therefore, God speaks to the angels when he reveals his will to their deepest selves in contemplation. The angels, on the other hand, speak to God when, contemplating what is above them, they rise up in the act of wonder." pg. 125, 126 Gregory the Great "Moral Reflections on the Book of Job" Volume 1 "Preface and Books 1-5"
