Raphael the Archangel
Raphael Archangelus
Saint Raphael the Archangel is one of the three archangels named in Scripture. In the Book of Tobit, he accompanies young Tobias on his journey, heals his father’s blindness, and drives away the demon Asmodeus. His name means “God heals,” and he is the patron of travelers, the sick, and those seeking a spouse.
