Let us pray: 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.

Because you are the medicine of God, we humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of our soul and the ills that afflict our bodies. We especially ask of you the favor (mention your request here) and the great grace of purity to prepare us to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
