Raphael (Standard Hebrew רָפָאֵל, Rāfāʾēl, "It is God who heals", "God Heals", "God, Please Heal") is an archangel of Judaism and Christianity, who in the Christian tradition performs all manners of healing. Patron of the Sacrament of Pennance: Raphael carries a jug of oil for annointing. The fish traditionally symbolizes the soul and the oil the healing of it's ailments through confession. The fish is also a reminder of the story of his protection of young Tobias and healing his father Tobit. (see the book of Tobit in the Old Testament for his story; only a Catholic bible will contain this book.) Prayer: St. Raphael the Archangel You are Raphael the Healer, You are Raphael the Guide, You are Raphael the Companion, Ever at human sorrow's side. St. Raphael, Angel of health, of true conjugal love, of joy and Divine light, pray for us! Amen
