Welcome

Archangel Raphael is one of the most well known healing angels, and the main archangel who oversees healing for living beings on Earth.

The name “Raphael” means “shining one who heals,” and according to tradition, his mission has always been one of healing.

In Chapter 3 of the Book of Tobit, Raphael is sent by God in response to the prayers of Tobit and Sarah for healing. Tobit had been blinded in an accident, and Sarah was beset by a demon. St. Raphael directed Tobit’s son Tobias to burn the liver of a fish to drive out the demon tormenting Sarah. With demon gone, St. Raphael then told Tobias to make a poltice of the fish’s gall, which Tobias then applied to his father’s eyes, curing his Tobit’s blindness.

Among all the archangels, St. Raphael is said to most enjoy the company of men and women. He is said to guard pilgrims on their journeys, and is often depicted holding a staff. He is often depicted holding or standing on a fish, which alludes to his healing of Tobit with the fish’s gall.

It is within the spirit of Raphael that we feel the call to serve the people of Puerto Rico.  

 It is with this commitment that we established Angels of Mercy Aviation Inc.
