Before arriving at the chapel, there is a murici tree, where the Virgin told Edson that St. Michael the Archangel stays constantly in this place, guarding and protecting the holy place.
And all of Her children who go to the chapel, when they pass in this place, should pray to St. Michael the Archangel one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory be to the Father, asking for his protection, as also the protection of St. Gabriel and St. Raphael. St. Michael the Archangel, in order to show Edson his presence in this place, deigned to appear several times before this tree and always when any apparition occurred he would lead him to it and from there he would convey a message from Jesus and the Virgin. Other times, it is Our Lady who leads him and asks him to pray to St. Michael the Archangel. Edson says the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are very beautiful too. St. Michael presents himself as a teenager of about 15 years old with a long white robe with long wings. He has in his robe, on his chest, a golden cross designed in the form of light. St. Gabriel looks like a 12 year old boy and St. Raphael a teenager of 18 years old. They are Archangels who present themselves as people, in human form, but are celestial spirits. There have no bodies. Edson tells us that there is a great difference between their visions with those he receives from Jesus, Our Lady and St. Joseph, where he can touch them, embrace them, or kiss them. With the apparitions of the Archangels this does not happen even with the apparitions of any other saint when he saw them. The Archangels only materialized as living people when they were to teach Edson something or lead him elsewhere by express order of God.
Only in these cases did Edson feel them as living people, for they led him by the hand in these places. Another thing Edson tells us is that the Archangels, despite the difference from one to another in height, are as if they were identical twins. They resemble each other a lot, which only differentiates them by size and how they are dressed.
