In Jewish tradition, alongside Michael, Gabriel is described as the Guardian Angel of Israel. His name means “God Is My Strength”. Raphael is the healer. He appears prominently in the Book of Tobit but is also popularly considered to be the angel who stirs the waters of the Pool of Bethesda, mentioned in John 5.
In the culture of the Church, Michael is often accompanied by his two fellow archangels — Sts. Gabriel and Raphael — with the three forming a phalanx of protection, healing, and petition for those who ask for their intercession. The Church celebrates the three archangels with a joint feast day on Sept.
Guardian angels are the special angels assigned to human beings, helping us throughout our lives. They protect us from physical danger and, more importantly, from spiritual danger.
In addition to Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, the Coptic Orthodox Church recognises four more archangels by name: Suriel means "Prince of God"
Michael the Archangel, whom the faithful have long looked to for protection in times of peril. The patron of the military and police forces, St. Michael is a fierce warrior and defender of the children of God.
Due to his actions in the Book of Tobit and the Gospel of John, Raphael is considered a protector and healer, and so the patron of travelers, the blind, happy meetings, nurses, physicians, medical workers, matchmakers, Christian marriage, and Catholic studies.
Each of these angels has different responsibilities: Michael is a warrior, Raphael is a guardian, and Gabriel is a messenger. But they share a common purpose: they act on behalf of God, helping His people and bringing Him glory.
In the Lutheran and Anglican traditions there are three archangels celebrated in September 29, the feast of St Michael and All Angels (also called Michaelmas), namely Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.
