โThe Angelโs Blessingโ
โIn the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, may Michael be at my right; Gabriel at my left; before me, Uriel; behind me, Raphael; and above my head the divine presence of God.โ
The Blessing of Angels is taken from the prayer "KriatShemaโ at bedtime and is a benediction for protection and preservation and an appeal for blessings to be upon us.
The Blessing of Angels is a prayer of protection and blessings that invokes the power of four angels, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, to stand guard around the person reciting the prayer.
Each angel has a specific role in the divine order, and together, they symbolize the four wings of the earth.
Michael represents grace and the glorification of God's name, reminding us of the importance of humility and surrender in our spiritual journey.
Gabriel embodies heroism and strength, inspiring us to face challenges with courage and determination.
Raphael is associated with medicine and health, reminding us of the importance of caring for our bodies and souls and seeking healing when needed.
Finally, Uriel represents light and knowledge, guiding us toward spiritual wisdom and understanding.
The prayer reminds us that we are not alone in our journey and that divine protection and blessings are always available if we call upon them. It also emphasizes the importance of humility, courage, self-care, and spiritual growth.
