The encounter between Raphael and Tobias is a pivotal moment in the story of Tobit. Raphael, an angel sent by God, is accompanying Tobias on a journey to retrieve a family debt and find a wife. Disguised as a human, Raphael offers his help, and Tobias, unaware of Raphael's true nature, asks what kind of assistance he can provide. This exchange underscores the theme of divine intervention in human affairs. Raphael's guidance is a reminder that God often works through others to fulfill His plans and provide for our needs. The story encourages believers to be open to the ways God might be working in their lives, even through unexpected or unseen means. It also speaks to the importance of trust and faith, as Tobias embarks on his journey with the assurance of divine support, even if he doesn't fully understand it at the time. This passage invites reflection on how we perceive and respond to the help and guidance we receive in our own lives, urging us to remain open to the possibility of divine assistance in various forms.
"Raphael said to the young man, 'Brother Tobias, here I am.' Tobias answered, 'What kind of help can you give me?'"
