The website of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops tells
us that, “The
word ‘hosts’ refers to a great gathering or multitude, and speaks here of God’s
command over the heavenly host of angelic armies.” In the New Testament, “hosts” refers to all
those who gather around the throne, who have lived obedient to God, and been
transformed by God. Through this
transformation, they have experienced the fullness of God’s love. We have therefore set aside the expression,
“God of power and might” so that the focus can shift to all those God has
gathered in his love.
