St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael are three very special angels in the Bible who have important jobs given to them by God.

  1. St. Michael: He is known as the protector of people and the leader of God’s army against evil. St. Michael is often pictured with a sword, showing his bravery in fighting against bad things in the world. He helps to keep people safe and protect them from harm.
  2. St. Gabriel: He is known as the messenger of God. St. Gabriel delivered important messages from God to people, like telling Mary that she would have a special baby named Jesus. Gabriel’s name means “God is my strength,” showing how strong and trustworthy he is as God’s messenger.
  3. St. Raphael: He is known as the healer and guide. St. Raphael helped people who were sick or in need of healing. In the Bible, he traveled with a man named Tobias to protect him on his journey and heal his father’s eyesight. Raphael’s name means “God heals,” showing his special power to bring healing and comfort to people.

These three angels are very special because they are messengers of God’s love and protection. We celebrate their feast day together on September 29 to honor their important roles in God’s plan. They remind us that God’s angels are always watching over us and helping us in our lives.
