Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help your angel has given you.

The quote links gratitude to imitation: if you believe you have received unseen help, the proper “thank you” is not merely private feeling but outward action. “Be an angel” functions metaphorically—be a messenger of care, protection, or timely assistance—while still resonating with a religious worldview in which angels are real agents of God’s help. The second clause reframes reciprocity as worship: service to others becomes a way of thanking God. Ethically, it urges a cycle of grace—received help should generate generosity—making spiritual consolation inseparable from responsibility toward one’s neighbor.
