Prayer to St. Raphael for Healing O glorious Archangel, St Raphael,
great Prince of the heavenly court,
illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace,
guide of those who journey by land or sea,
consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners: I beg you to assist me in all my needs
and in all the sufferings of this life,
as once you did help the young Tobias on his travels. And because you are the 'Medicine of God,
I humbly ask you to heal the many infirmities of my soul,
and the ills which afflict my body, if it be for my greater good.
I especially ask of you an angelic purity,
which may fit me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Be pleased, O Lord God,
to send to our aid St Raphael the Archangel:
and may he, who, we believe,
stands forever before the throne of Your Majesty,
offer unto You our humble petitions
to be blessed by You.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen. [Communion Prayer, Roman Missal, Feast of St. Raphael,
prior to the Archangels being consolidated on 29 September.]
Prayer to St. Raphael for Protection O God, who did give blessed Raphael the Archangel to Thy servant Tobias,
as a companion on his journey: grant to us, Thy servants,
that we may always be guarded by his care and strengthened by his help. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son,
who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
world without end. Amen. [Collect, Roman Misall, Feast of St. Raphael] |
