Saint Michael the Archangel serves as the patron saint of sick people who are suffering from any type of illness. He is also a patron saint of people who work in dangerous conditions such as military personnel, police, security officers, paramedics, sailors, and grocers.
Saint Michael is the leader of all the holy angels above Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. He is often working on missions to fight evil, proclaim God's truth, and strengthen the faith of the people. Although he is called a saint, he is truly an angel.
