Prayer to Archangel St. Raphael 

Glorious Archangel Saint Raphael,

great prince of the heavenly court,

you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace.

You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air,

consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.

I beg you, assist me in all my needs

and in all the sufferings of this life,

as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels.

Because you are the medicine of God,

I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul

and the ills that afflict my body.

I especially ask of you the favor

(mention your request here)

and the great grace of purity

to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

St. Raphael, of the glorious seven

who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns,

Angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand

with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains.

Heal or cure the victim of disease

and guide our steps when doubtful of our ways.  Amen.
