Enter...One of God's Holy Angels

The Book of Tobit is such an inspiring oracle of a family, their prayers and their journey with God and his answers to them. Tobit walked in the ways of truth and righteousness even living among ungodly people...fully trusting God in spite of the difficulties in his life. Through grief and anguish he prayed, he didn't falter, but continued giving thanks and praise to God.
Tobit instructs Tobias in the way of living a good, true life. He tells him of all that he is to go in search of and to find a man to go with him...Thus enters the archangel Raphael, who by the will of God was sent to journey with Tobias as he set out to find his life mate...

My prayer ... St Raphael, archangel of God, you come by the will of God. You brought Tobias and Sara together, you led Tobias to safety, you cured Sara and healed Tobit’s eyes by showing Tobias what to do and you obtained the money for Tobias. You said, "I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One". I ask of you to please present this prayer before God_____________. I give great thanksgiving and praise our God forever. I sign this in the name of Jesus…Amen.
Thank you my God!!!

"The angel Raphael says: "I offered thy prayer to the Lord"



God restores the promised land to the faithful... for we are the children of saints, and look for that life which God will give to those that never lose their faith in Him... says Tobias

And with Abraham when he sent his servant to seek a wife for Isaac, says: "He will send His angel before thee" (Genesis 24:1-7-8). Another encounter with an angel who comes to help us...
