DAY TWO– INVOKING THE INTERCESSION OF ST. RAPHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of The Holy Spirit.

Glorious Archangel Saint Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, filled with the mercy of God, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are also called the “terror of demons” and a powerful exterminator of vices. Since you are known to be the consoler of the afflicted and the refuge of sinners, I beg you, assist me and all those I am praying for, in all our 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 to you, to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body, as well as all those I am praying for. Please bring these petitions I now place before you to God Almighty (mention all of your intentions, especially that many graces be bestowed upon Cardinal Burke). Most of all, please bestow upon me the great grace of purity, so as to prepare my body to be a temple of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
