A beautiful summary of the significance of St Raphael, with a particular focus on the holiness of a Catholic Marriage. I just wish it was a longer book with more details! But it’s great that the essentials could be presented in such a quick read.

It was a nice summary of St. Raphael's backstory and his patronages. It also delves into the purposes of marriage, as well as how to prepare for this sacrament. As for my verdict, the writing sometimes leaned fanciful, at points coming across as illogical.

Loved this book. Brings back some traditional ideas of marriage too!

Concise summary of St.Raphael. Easy to read and follow with prayers at the end for different needs. Loved this peek into the lesser known archangel, learned quite a bit about the 7 main angels too.

Perfect little read on an incredible Archangel. Definitely recommend to anyone feeling called to grow a devotion to him.

[Jimmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent booklet on this saint, mostly focusing on the lessons that can be drawn from the book of Tobias, but also explaining St. Raphael's role as a healer. The booklet includes several pages of prayers to St. Raphael.

A good little guide to the presents and awareness of God's appointed Archangel.

I would recommend a quiet reading of this book to obtain the blessings within. Books like this are only found when you seek.
