Great job, Peter, wonderful! As a long-time member of St. Raphael's Church in the Diocese of Ogdensburg, I have read Tobit on multiple occasions. I've also wanted to make a puppet play about it (years ago - I no longer have my theater). I always recommend it to anyone who wants to read the Bible. Ahem! Just curious: Did the Archangel Raphael tell a falsehood when he told Tobit that he was, "Azariah, son of Hananiah the elder, one of your own kinsmen." Then the blind Tobit says, "Do not be provoked with me, brother, for wanting to learn the truth about your family... you are a kinsman, and from a noble and good line!"

I would love to read that book.

St. Raphael is my favorite angel as he is the healing angel. Each was given a special mission by God to serve us. I remember waking up early one morning surprised to see someone next to me. I got up slowly and while doing so he slowly went to the door and just disappeared . I thought I had caught my angel guarding me. I still remember vividly up to now. I know an angel is guarding me in everything I do. What a blessing!
