Novena to the Feast of Saint Raphael the Archangel

The Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Pius IX., by a rescript of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, Nov. 28, 1876, granted to all the faithful who, with contrite hearts, at any time during the year, devoutly make the novena in honor of S. Raphael the archangel, with any formula of prayer, provided it be approved by competent ecclesiastical authority, An Indulgence Of Three Hundred Days, once a day.

Let us pray / Oremus

Glorious Archangel, Saint Raphael, great prince of the Heavenly Court, illustrious by thy gifts of wisdom and grace, guide of travelers by land and sea, consoler of the unfortunate and refuge of sinners, I entreat thee to help me in all my needs and in all the trials of this life, as thou didst once assist the young Tobias in his journeying. And since thou art the "physician of God," I humbly pray thee to heal my soul of its many infirmities and my body of the ills that afflict it, if this favor is for my greater good ( here our earnest prayer petition ) I ask, especially, for angelic purity, that I may be made fit to be the living temple of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Saint Raphael, of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of God who lives and reigns.
Angel of health, the Lord has filled thy 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

(Indulgence of 100 days.----Leo XIII., June 21, 1890)
