Three angels have been mentioned in the scriptures - Michael, "Who is Like God?" in Daniel 10:13; Gabriel, "Power of God", (Daniel 8:16) and Rafael, (Tobit 7:8) "God has healed." These named beings were later identified by Catholic tradition as "archangels."(from http://communio.stblogs.org)
I never have had any experience "encounters" with angels. But I truly have the faith that they do exist. Angel Gabriel, the one sent to announce the birth of the Christ Jesus, is very familiar, as he is always remembered during the Angelus. There's also a song "Adlaw-adlaw kang Maria," where St. Gabriel is mentioned. St. Michael's image of defeating satan is one famous picture.
Although the angels' existence is not personally experienced, there have been so many times that I met many angels here on earth. They are those that give me comfort whenever I am down. They give me good counsel in times of making decisions. Some would fight the evil in me just to make me walk the right path.
These past days, I have been making melodies on psalms. I have somehow improved with playing the electronic pipe and church organs. There have been angels who are not noticeably sharing their presence with me.
