Summary/Abstract: It is said that silence is the language of angels. A silence but not in the sense of "dumb", speechless, but in the sense of harmony, soothing, meaning that everything goes silent at its hearing. It is their work to bring harmony sound. The angels are likened to monks by their lives. The activity of the monks resembles angels: neighbor’s care, the struggle with vices and sins, prayer, meditation and chant. The hosts of angels, St. Dionisie Areopagitul calls "chorus". "This is the most appropriate term, because their whole activity is like an eternal song of praise and thanksgiving to the High Sky, because they praise God for the marvelous arrangement of the cosmos.
