On September 29, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of three holy archangels, whose names were revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. We know that in addition to these archangels, there are myriads and myriads of other angelic beings, which are divided into three hierarchies. The angelic beings of the first and highest hierarchy who are continually in worship in the presence of God are the seraphim, the cherubim, and the throne. Those of the second hierarchy are the dominations, the virtues and powers, which govern the material and spiritual world. Finally, those of the third hierarchy are the principalities, the archangels and angels, who execute the orders of their superiors of the second hierarchy.

This archangel named "God healed" or "Medicine of God" has returned to the sight of the pious Tobit and shows us that his presence, as well as that of Michael and Gabriel, is discreet but friendly and important. “Tobias went looking for someone who could accompany him and know the way well. When he went out, he met the angel Raphael standing before him, but did not suspect that he was an angel of God ”(Tob 5,4).
