Devotion to the Archangel Raphael and the prayer to ask for his protection

O Saint Raphael, great prince of the celestial court, one of the seven spirits who relentlessly contemplate the throne of the Most High, I (name) in the presence of the Most Holy Trinity, of Mary Immaculate, our Queen and Queen of the nine Choirs of Angels, consecrate myself to you, to be one of your servants all the days of my life.

O holy Archangel, accept my offer and receive me in the ranks of your proteges, who know from experience the value of your patronage. Traveler guide, lead me on the pilgrimage of this life Protector of those who are in danger, free me from all the pitfalls that can threaten my body and my soul. Refuge of the unhappy, help me in my spiritual and physical poverty. Comforter of the afflicted, dispel the pain that keeps my oppressed heart and my spirit in anguish.

Medicine of God, heal the infirmities of soul and body, keep me holiness, so that I can serve our Lord more fervently. Protector of families, turn on my loved ones a look of goodness so that they are guarded by you and experience your protection. Protector of tempted souls, free me from the suggestions of the infernal enemy and do not allow me to fall into his net.

Benefactor of charitable souls, to rejoice in your benevolent protection, I intend to help the brothers who are in difficulty by making my resources available to them. Accept my humble offer, O Holy Archangel, and grant me the grace to taste, throughout my life and at the moment of death, the salutary effects of your protection and assistance. Amen.
