St. Michael the Warrior, St. Gabriel the Messenger, and St. Raphael the Healer.

I know most about St. Michael. Every Catholic Church where I've attended Mass prays the Prayer to St. Michael after every Mass.

"St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."


This prayer is frequently prayed by those in dangerous occupations, like police and firefighters, before going to work. St. Michael is depended on for protection.

A story about St. Michael, that is well known by Catholics:

 
Michael is also the Patron of Germany 👍
.

I would really like to have an image, 2D or 3D, of St. Michael, which portrays him as a masculine male figure. He is, after all, the Warrior Prince of Heaven.

I know that it had traditionally never been so that artists portrayed any angel as very masculine, because angels, with the exception of the Archangels, were never assigned a gender.

I read work by a priest named Fr. Donald Calloway, who mentions in his book "Consecration to St. Joseph" that he always wanted to see Christ's earthly foster father as a more masculine figure, and younger as well, and so he commissioned an artist to do a series of paintings to accomplish this desire. Interesting results.

Anyway, the man below, an actor and American Gladiator, whatever that is, was hired to play St. Michael is a music video and this is how I'd like to see St. Michael.

Another of the Archangels, St. Raphael. A prayer for healing:

St. Raphael is also the Archangel to pray to for help in finding the right spouse.
