Prayer to Saint Raphael the Archangel
Glorious Archangel Saint Raphael, great prince of the
heavenly court, who art illustrious for thy gifts of wisdom and grace: thou art
a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, a consoler of the
afflicted, and a refuge of sinners. I beg thee, assist me in all my needs and in
all the sufferings of this life, as once thou didst help the young Tobias on
his travels. Because thou art the "Medicine of God," I humbly pray
thee to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body.
I especially ask of thee this favor [mention your petition] and the great grace
of purity, to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
