Do the angels, as far as they are able, see God?
St. Cyril of Jerusalem says, “What then, some man will say, is it not written, ‘The little ones’ Angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven’ (Matt. 18:10)? Yes, but the Angels see God not as He is, but as far as they themselves are capable. For it is Jesus Himself who says, ‘Not that any man has seen the Father, save He which is of God, He has seen the Father’ (John 6:46)”353
