Angel Medals, Guardian Angels and St. Raphael Medals

Patron for Travelers, the Blind, Nurses, Physicians, Lovers, Meetings and Matchmakers

In the Gospel of John, St. Raphael is the angel stirring the water at the healing pool of Bethesda. Raphael appears disguised as the traveling companion of Tobit’s son, Tobiah, calling himself “Azarias the son of the great Ananias.” During the journey, the archangel’s protective influence includes the binding of a demon in the desert of upper Egypt. After returning and healing the blind Tobit, Azarias makes himself known as “the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord.” On a corner of Venice’s famous Doge’s Palace, there is a relief depicting Raphael holding a scroll on which is written: Efficia fretum quietum (Keep the Gulf quiet). His Feast Day is September 29, the same at Archangels Michael and Gabriel.
About Angels

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-13

Most of the world’s religions teach the reality of angels. Pure spirits created by God, full of wisdom, power, beauty and truth. Angel means ‘messenger’ indicating that God often used them (and uses them) to communicate his plans to the people of earth. Scripture teaches that everyone has a guardian angel, whose job is to watch over them and guide them safely to Heaven. The feast day in celebration of the Guardian Angels is October 2nd. This day was granted by Pius VI who wrote a devotion to angels on October 2, 1795.

The Devotion reads: ‘O Angel of God, to whose holy care I am committed by the supernal clemency, enlighten, protect, defend, and govern me. Amen.’
