5117. For angels are nothing other than their affection, which stems from their love, thus which stems from their will, in human form.
They are inexpressibly beautiful, and in speech, gestures, in all the changes of their outward behavior both in general, particular and least detail, inexpressibly pleasant.
5117. In fact, an angel is nothing but his own affection which is of his love, that is, of his will in a human form. They are of ineffable beauty; and, in speech, gestures, and in all external changes, as well in particular and in detail as in general, they are inexpressibly delightful.
5117. Angelus enim est non nisi quam sua affectio, quae sui amoris, ita quae suae voluntatis, in forma humana. Sunt ineffabili pulchritudine, et in loquelis, gestibus, mutationibus in externis omnibus, tam in communi, quam in particulari et in singulari, ineffabili jucunditate.
