St. Raphael Comments
St. Raphael is one of seven Archangels who stand before the throne of the Lord. He was sent by God to help Tobit, Tobiah and Sarah. At the time, Tobit was blind and Tobiah's betrothed, Sarah, had had seven bridegrooms perish on the night of their weddings. Raphael accompanied Tobiah into Media disguised as a man named Azariah.

Dear St. Raphael, As promised I want to publicly thank you for a favor received. A week ago my 94 year old mother had a bad fall and before we took her to the hospital we prayed for your intercession. My mother has NO broken bones and I believe it was due to your help. She is in a lot of pain but we know that you will continue to watch over her. THANK YOU again!
thank you St. Raphael for healing the pain on my both knees,the pain in my chest and also the muscle pain on my right thight.Thank you so much.I just learned from my husband the wonders of your healing.
(Say 1 Glory Be)
Oh merciful God in heaven,
it is to you I offer my heartfelt gratitude and love.
My worship and adoration are solely yours my Lord.
You sent your son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to wash away the sins of mankind.
By this act, the salvation of all the souls who choose a righteous way, is possible.
Let the angels, saints, and souls of the departed rejoice and sing their love and devotion to you,
and you alone.
(Say 3 Lord's Prayer)
Blessed virgin Mary.
Mother of our savior.
Pray for me in my hour of need
and pray for my wife Susan who's affliction is my sin.
Please ask the Lord to absolve me all my sins and forgive me, his wayward child.
(Say 3 Hail Mary's)
(Say 1 Glory Be)
Saint Raphael, one of seven select that stands before the throne of God,
please seek divine permission, on my behalf, and wash away Susan's afflictions and heal her, as you, with Gods grace, healed the earth when the fallen ones soiled it.
Saint Jude, the forgotten one and patron of lost causes.
Please petition our Father for my Susan's sake.
Provide me with the means to look after her, my family, friends, and church, for the rest of my days.
(Say 3 Apostle's Creed)
Dear Lord God.
I stand before you humble and broken.
I seek your forgiveness and prepare for penance.
I adore you above all else and venerate the saints in their places before you.
Even though I've always known you were there, I didn't call your name.
I am sorry.
(Say 3 Acts of Contrition)
(Say 1 Glory Be)
Thank you Lord.
Amen.
DEAR SAINT RAPHAEL
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID FOR MY DAUGHTER ,BUT SHE STILL NEEDS A SIGN SO THAT SHE BELIEVES THAT YOUR MESSAGE IS TRUE .THANK YOU AGAIN
Dear St. Raphael,
I have so many things to be grateful for and have passed through many difficulties in the recent past as well as in the distant past. I have reignited my faith and connection to God and Jesus and continue to strive to become the mother, daughter, friend, employee and overall best human being I can be in spite of flaws and frailties but who walks humbly and who has a resolve and determination to overcome distractions from this path. That said, I am still lonely in my heart for a friend/partner and eventual husband. I have stumbled and even fallen over the past 14 years on this quest but still believe there is someone for me. At this time in my life there appears to be a harvest looming, therefore, will you please pray for me to also reap the blessing of a life mate so that the road does not seem as lonely and forlorn as it has been and sometimes appears to be?
If I am granted this blessing, I will strive even harder to rise above temptations and misdeeds and keep loving thoughts and actions in the forefront of my consciousness as well as in my deeds for the remainder of my life on earth.
Your devoted servant, Christine

Thank you.
Please help heal my daughters broken heart. Please lead her in the right direction, to find loving, caring, partner. I thank God for the wonderful life that we have & the love of my family. St Raphael, I ask that you help my daughter. Amen
Dear Archangel Raphael,
Today is Saturday, 14th July 2012, and this day we (the family) celebrate my father's 76th birthday here in Melbourne, Australia. It is winter season and so today is cold and rainy but this will not deter us from celebrating dad's wonderful life and the love he is so famous for which continues to this day to touch and move everyone in his presence. My brother and I can only remember the great love he applied in bringing us up and rarely did dad ever display his anger for long nor has he resorted to punishing us too often, in fact, he very rarely punished us when we were growing up. He is a super dad and we love him with all our hearts and pray that you, Archangel Raphael, will always protect him from harms way.
Archangel Raphael, last year our dad lost his ability to walk and he was confined to a wheelchair waiting for a complex surgery which came around after a small miracle, thanks to you, and to everyone's surprise including his own surgeon dad's operation was a success and he recovered fast and walked again within a few weeks of rehabilitation. We give you credit for this miracle as you are dad's patron saint and his loving Archandel he loves & cherishes, and it was to you we turned with tears and crying hearts, and you heard us pray and seen our tearful hearts, and you did something beautiful & powerful. We can only thank you for dad's successful surgery & miraculous recovery. If it were not for your own angelic prayers and intercessions before the Throne of Christ dad would NOT be alive today.
My family and I will always be recommending anyone faced with a crisis such as we did with our suffering dad to turn to you in deep prayer and faithful hearts to act on their behalf in the Kingdom of Heavern and the Risen Lord will always listen to you His wonderful & much-loved Archangel Raphael.
AMEN

Thank you in advance and may God Bless you for your work.
St. Raphael, I have never asked for your intercession. I humbly ask that you take my petition before the thrown of God. I pray for healing of my broken heart. I pray that if my ex boyfriend is not the one for me (which at the moment that's what it seems like) that the Lord remove all thoughts and romantic feeling that I have towards him. And if he is the one, then I ask that he returns him to me a godly man, a man who will seek ye first the kingdom, a man ready for the sacrament of marriage. I pray that the holy spirit fills me with peace and joy. I pray that while I'm single and wait for the man that God has for me that I will be content in his presence. Calm my anxiety. Heavenly Father comfort me and give me the wisdom to know who it is that you want me to marry. Thank you Jesus for all that you've done and continue to do in my life. And thank you St. Raphael for your intercession. Amen.
