Bono (1960) Irish rock musician, singer of U2
"If God Will Send His Angels"
Lyrics, Pop (1997)
Context: If God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
And I don't have to know how.
“It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs.
Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?”
— Bono

Meister Eckhart (1260–1328) German theologian
Sermon 9, as translated in The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church (1999) by Hughes Oliphant Old, Ch. 9: The German Mystics, p. 448
Context: When God has sent his angel to me, then I know of a surety.... When God sends his angel to the soul it becomes the one who knows for sure. Not for nothing did God give the keys into St. Peter's keeping, for Peter stands for knowledge, and knowledge is the key that unlocks the door, presses forward and breaks in, to discover God as he is.
