The Archangels: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael

Before the first morning of the world, there was a question — and an angel who answered it with his own name. "Mi-ka-El": Who is like God? Of the countless angels in Scripture, only three are called by name. Michael, the warrior who cast the dragon out of heaven, who appeared on the mountain of Gargano, over plague-stricken Rome and to a bishop on the rock of Mont-Saint-Michel. Gabriel, the messenger who silenced Zechariah in the Temple and greeted a young girl in Nazareth: "Hail, full of grace." And Raphael, the healer who walked for weeks beside young Tobias — and never told the family who he was until the very last day.
