When our furkids are ill and not feeling well, we feel helpless and sometimes, hopeless. We want to do all that we can to make them feel better. We take them to the vet, we give them their prescribed medications, and if we are believers, we ask for Divine Help. This precious medal prayerfully implores the help of dear St. Raphael. Through his intercession may all who seek healing for their furkids, be blessed with an answered prayer.
St. Raphael is one of seven Archangels. His name means "God heals". This identity came about because of the biblical story which claims that he "healed" the earth when it was defiled by the sins of the fallen angels in the apocryphal book of Enoch. Raphael is also identified as the angel who moved the waters of the healing sheep pool. He is the patron of physicians, nurses, the blind, of happy meetings and of travelers. His feast day is celebrated on September 29th.
