At the height of the Spanish Baroque period, Father Francisco Garcia portrayed Raphael in all his splendor by painting an exalted view of his true and unique Angelic nature. He carefully weaved scripture with the experiences of mystic visionaries and the opinions of Catholic saints and scholars to ensure that his writings remained within the strict boundaries of orthodoxy. Archangel Raphael says in the Book of Tobit: I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand ever ready to enter the presence of the glory of the Lord, and in this booklet Father Francisco Garcia affirms that "St. Raphael is one of the Seven Angels spoken of in the Book of Revelation." The theologian pushes the limits of what the Inquisition permitted to print when he names these Seven Apocalyptic Angels. The Roman Catholic Church tolerated the private devotion to the Seven Princes but it prohibited to publish their names in any form. Notably, F. Garcia obtained the ecclesiastic permission to print and the seven names were not censured. The booklet was not intended to be read just once. It was meant to be read and reflected upon and thus honor this sovereign Prince of the Angels, whose name means Medicine of God, to cultivate a relationship with him and to generate merit. It was first published in 1683 in Madrid and over the centuries it was printed many times by devotees and quoted extensively by scholars.The point of view of the writer is profoundly relevant for those who wish to learn about Raphael and about all the Angels, especially for all those who practice the Healing Arts or are in need of healing.
