Today is the Feast day of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. You many be like me and simply LOVE angels. These three angels are the only ones named in Scripture.
St. Michael:
St. Michael is seen in the book of Daniel with his vision as the "great prince" who defends Israel against its enemies. And in the book of Revelation, he leads God's armies to final victory over the forces of evil.
St Gabriel:
He appears in Daniel's visions, announcing Michael's role in the God's plan. He also appears to Mary and announces she will bear a son.
St. Raphael:
His activity is in the story of Tobit from the Old Testament. He appears to guide Tobit's son through a series of adventures: 1) His marriage to Sarah, 2) Healing of Tobit's blindness and 3) the restoration fo the family fortune.
