Raphael means ‘God heals’’He is one of 7 archangels.

When people pray and when they are sick, they think of Raphael.

Raphael helped a man called Tobiah. God chose him to help the man. He helped Tobiah with his difficulties such as Tobiah’s debts, marriage and sight with a fishes gall. Tobiah was blind. Raphael helped him with his marriage as well. Raphael disguised himself as ‘Azariah’. He led Tobiah to his marriage with Sarah.

I chose this saint because I like the name and the event he was involved in, which was helping out a person in need. He is an inspirational Angel and one of the highest.
