Prayer to Archangel Raphael

O Glorious Archangel St. 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 (here mention your special intention),
and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the
Holy Spirit. Amen.

Short Prayer to St. Raphael the Archangel


St. Raphael, the Archangel, arrow and medicine of Divine Love,
wound our hearts, we implore you, with the burning love of God and
let this wound never heal, so that even in daily life we might always
remain upon the path of love and overcome all things through love.
Amen.

Consecration Prayer to St. Raphael


Holy Archangel Raphael, standing so close to the throne of God and
offering Him our prayers, I venerate you as God’s special Friend and
Messenger. I choose you as my Patron and wish to love and obey you
as young Tobias did. I consecrate to you my body and soul, all my
work, and my whole life. I want you to be my Guide and Counsellor
in all the dangerous and difficult problems and decisions of my life.
Remember, dearest Saint Raphael, that the grace of God preserved
you with the good angels in heaven when the proud ones were cast
into hell. I entreat you, therefore, to help me in my struggle against the
world, the flesh, and the devil. Defend me from all dangers and every
occasion of sin. Direct me always in the way of peace, safety, and
salvation. Offer my prayers to God as you offered those of Tobias, so
that through your intercession I may obtain the graces necessary for
the salvation of my soul. Remember me and always entreat for me
before the Face of the Son of God. Help me to love and serve my God
faithfully, to die in His grace, and finally to merit to join you in seeing
and praising God forever in heaven. Amen.
