I’ve always thought of the angels being all around us during the Mass. We just can’t see them!
I truly believe they are there.

Yes, I agree. And I believe Mary is at every Mass as well, as She never veers far from Her Son.
And as an aside, after my saintly f-i-l passed away, a parishioner at a funeral Mass saw him, following his son [who is a priest] around as he incensed the altar.

And that is why a priest is a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizidek. I believe God sends them when a priest is unavailable to give the Last Rites... Kind of like St. Padre Pio did...
I think of my Mom and Dad being there, too...
