1201. It is by means of the inmost heaven that the Lord insinuates love truly conjugial, the beginning and origin of which is from the inmost heaven; it then [proceeds] through the medium of the lower heavens. Hence also comes storge, for the celestial angels of the inmost heaven love infants far more than the parents, or the mothers, do; indeed they are present with infants and have the care of them, yea, they are even present with them in the maternal womb, as I was told, and are solicitous in caring for their nourishment; thus they preside over the womb during gestation.
