The prayer was originally ascribed to St Anselm of Canterbury, although later scholarship now ascribes it to the inspiration of Reginald of Canterbury, who was a contemporary of Anselm. A prayer with numerous similarities to the Angel of God prayer is found in Reginald’s Life of St Malchus, and it is thought the current prayer is derived from that written by Reginald.The original Latin prayer consists of two rhyming couplets. The customary English form of the prayer is metrical as well as rhyming. In many languages the customary form of the prayer is a direct prose translation of the Latin, while in others (for instance Polish) a poetic translation predominates.

“Angel of God” (Latin: Ángele Dei) is a Roman Catholic traditional prayer for the intercession of the guardian angel, often taught to young children as the first prayer learned. It serves as a reminder of God’s love, and by enjoining the guardian angel to support the child in a loving way, the prayer echoes God’s abiding love.The prayer invokes the protection of a guardian angel. In Catholic theology, angels act as messengers of God, and out of God’s mercy a guardian angel is assigned to each soul to protect them through their life from spiritual dangers.

The Angel Devil’s last memory was supposedly on a coast village where he found a community of people who took him in and looked after him, even if he was a Devil. In that community, he supposedly dated a young woman who he described as “The one I loved, and the one who loved me”.

In Chapter 74, he suddenly remembers his past after Makima commands Aki to accept a contract. Intending to fight Makima, he uses 10 years of life force to create a blade. However, she merely says the word “Down” and the Angel Devil crumples to the floor. She kneels next to him, ordering him to give his all to her. Possessed by the power of mental control, Angel Devil agrees to being Makima´s dog and obey her orders.As a Devil, the Angel Devil possesses all of the standard devil abilities. Besides standard abilities, the Angel Devil possess unique ability to absorb life-spans with a simple touch, which makes him really strong. The Angel Devil is considered to be Division 4’s second-strongest agent after Captain Kishibe but his laziness holds him back.

The Angel Devil is a unique case among devils, having virtually no hostility towards humans. He considers himself to be a devil first and an angel second, stating that he believes humans ought to die in pain. However, he is later seen apologizing to and comforting certain humans in their deaths, suggesting some form of affection towards humans, which he suggests is a result of being part-Angel.

He initially only wishes to die so he wouldn’t have to work again, saying that he’s always been prepared for the moment he dies. However, over the course of the story, Angel slowly starts to reject that notion and eventually desires to have a normal life like an ordinary human, even telling Aki that he wishes that he would quit his job as a Public Safety Devil Hunter and find another job that would allow him live a long and peaceful life. He also grows to care about his partner, becoming concerned when Makima forces Aki to make a contract with her and attempts to protect Aki from her.

Afterwards the community and his supposed girlfriend went to the beach, when suddenly Makima arrived, asking to see his devil powers. Though he refused at first, she insisted, ordering him to use them. He then reawoke hours later, having absorbed the lives of everyone in the village.He is partial to soft-serve ice cream, eating three cones in one sitting and requesting another, but has shown a willingness to eat anything including zombie flesh and the corpse of a fellow devil.

Angel resembles a young male, and is always seen wearing the Public Safety suit. He has shoulder-length hair—depicted as red, the color may either specifically be known as “giant’s club” in the official colored manga or “japonica” in the anime—with a halo floating above it and white wings on his upper back. After the events of the International Assassins arc, Angel loses both of his arms.He dislikes being ordered around and seems to have an aversion to combat, preferring to move an unconscious enemy outside than carry on fighting. His extreme laziness holds him back from being a strong fighter and he often refuses to work, even claiming to prefer dying to working. When pressed to fight, he shows some reluctance at having to use his abilities and apologizes to the people whose life span he has stolen when he uses their life span to create weapons.

Under these circumstances, the downgrade process usually starts with the company’s debt being placed on a negative credit watch. That alone forces many portfolio managers to sell their positions, as their governing rules may forbid holding them.Fallen angel bonds have been downgraded by one of the major rating services, which include Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s Investors Service. They may be corporate, municipal, or sovereign debt.A fallen angel, in the investing world, is a bond that was initially given an investment-grade rating but has since been reduced to junk bond status. The downgrade is caused by a deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer.

An oil company that has reported sustained losses over several quarters due to falling oil prices may see its investment-grade bonds downgraded to junk status due to the company’s increased risk of default. As a result of the downgrade, the prices of the company’s bonds will decline and its yields will increase. That makes them attractive to contrarian investors who see low oil prices as a temporary condition.There are even fallen angel bond funds for investors who spot opportunity at a fire sale. The VanEck Vectors Fallen Angel High-Yield Bond ETF invests only in bonds that have been downgraded. As of September 2021, its holdings included bonds from Sprint Capital Corp., Vodafone Group PLC, and Freeport McMoran, among others. There also is the iShares Fallen Angels USD Bond ETF which, as its name suggests, invests only in dollar-denominated fallen angels.

Some fallen angels don’t come back. For example, a company will experience declining revenues if a better product than theirs appears on the market. If the company fails to innovate, it won’t come back. The progression from VCR tapes to DVDs to streaming video is an example. Municipal and sovereign debt issuers may also see their investment-grade bonds downgraded to junk status due to a combination of stagnant or declining tax revenues and increasing levels of debt. These conditions can create a downward spiral toward default as debt repayments eat into declining revenues and yet more bonds are issued to cover the shortfall. The actual downgrade to junk status drives more selling pressure, particularly from funds that are restricted to holding investment-grade debt exclusively. As a result, fallen angel bonds can present value within the high-yield category but only if the issuer appears to have a reasonable chance of recovering from the conditions that caused the downgrade.The primary reason for a downgrade is a decline in revenues, which jeopardizes the ability of the issuers to pay the interest due on their bonds. If the declining revenues are combined with increasing levels of debt, the potential for a downgrade increases dramatically.

Now, I do not purport to be an expert in Japanese folklore (or in anything, really) but as near as I can tell the Shinigami started life in the 18th or 19th century, springing forth from a variety of influences including traditional Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist beliefs that merged with Christian influences from abroad. While the Grim Reaper is considered a fearsome creature in the West, Shinigami are more intercessors, functionaries in the grand cosmic bureaucracy whose only function is to escort souls from our world to the next. While the Grim Reaper is singular, Shinigami are depicted as being many, and working together to achieve their goals.Currently you have JavaScript disabled.

The word “Shinigami” itself means “death god” or “death spirit”. They are believed to be a form of kami, or a spirit not unlike the Western concept of an angel. While their role in folklore has only come about in relatively recent times, the Shinigami’s impact on modern Japanese pop culture has been tremendous. From Bleach to Death Note, Shinigami are often portrayed as alternatively scary, monstrous beings to human-like entities merely fulfilling a function. It seems that, for the time being at least, the Shinigami are here to stay.The Grim Reaper is probably the most widely known persona of death in Western cultures. Most typically depicted as a scythe wielding skeleton garbed in black robes, this fearsome figure harvests the souls of the dead, escorting them to the other side to await judgment and their eternal fate. While this symbol of death has deep roots in Western culture, stemming from the 14th century Danse Macabre imagery that became popularized when the Black Death was wreaking its havoc with European society, the Reaper has only come to Japan relatively more recently, in the form of the Shinigami.

The artist produced near life-size images of mythological characters in a classically-trained manner which fluctuated in popularity within French 19th century art circles. Cabanel was famed for the precision of his portraits, and no better example of that exists than in his Fallen Angel painting.”…I depict two natures, two races, one inexorably doomed, predestined to evil and misfortune, finally to fall ; while the other chaste and pure rises radiantly towards God glorifying him. However, the main motif of my painting is the evil genius, Satan!…”
