St Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael are angels. An angel is a messenger of God. Angels who deliver very important messages are called Archangels. St Michael, St Gabriel, and St Raphael are Archangels and they are our protectors. Here is why:
St Michael led God’s army in a heavenly battle against Satan and won. We pray to him to make our love for Jesus strong and for his protection against the enemy.
St Gabriel is the announcer of the Good News. He visited Mary to proclaim that she would be Jesus’ mother. St Gabriel also visited Zechariah to tell him that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a son who was John the Baptist. We pray to St Gabriel to help us to be a good communicator like he was.
We can read about St Raphael in the book of Tobit in the Bible. He protected Tobit on his journey. Tobit was blind and at the end of the journey, St Raphael, healed him and told Tobit who he was. We ask St Raphael to protect us when we travel or help us when we are sick.
