CONTENTS

Chapter 11: Healing Prayers

This is a nondenominational book about the archangel named Raphael, a powerful celestial being who heals people and animals. Raphael (pronounced Raf-ee-el) is the supreme healer in the angelic realm. In fact, his name means God heals or He who heals in Hebrew. Many believe that it is derived from the Hebrew word Rophe, which means medicine doctor.

Although Raphael isnt named specifically in the traditional Bible, theologians identify him as the archangel who healed the feeble at the Bethesda pond described in the Gospels. He is also reputed to be one of the three angels who visited the patriarch Abraham and his wife Sarah to announce and help with their childrens conception, who healed Abrahams grandson Jacobs wrestling injuries, and who gave King Solomon his magical ring.

In Catholicism, he is Saint Raphael, the patron of healing, physicians, travelers, and matchmakers. Raphael appears by name in the canonical (that is, considered part of the Bible by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches since A.D. 397) Book of Tobit. This book, sometimes called the Book of Tobias, was lost and later rediscovered as a Dead Sea Scroll in Qumran, the temple of the ancient Essenes, in the 20th century.

The book describes the story of Tobit, a devoted and helpful Jewish man who became so despairing when he went blind that he asked God to let him die. The same evening of Tobits prayer, a woman named Sarah also begged God for death, out of grief for seven husbands who had each died on her wedding night.
