The 7 Archangels are, traditionally, the most concrete link between earth and heaven. Each one has a mission; for example, Archangel Raphael is the one dedicated to healing. In this sense, he not only helps those who are going through a process of personal healing, but he is also the one who guides those who work in the healing of others.
Raphael in Hebrew means “God heals”. Therefore, he is considered the Archangel Raphael the one in charge of helping people and animals in the physical and spiritual realms. In Catholicism, you can see in the new testament the manuscripts of the apostle John, who mentions an angel who descended into the pool of Bethesda and moved the water. Due to his healing powers, this angel became associated with Raphael.
