Holy Archangel Raphael, noble Messenger of God, You know the value of our souls in the eyes of God. Never let us forget that we were redeemed by Jesus Christ. ~~~~~~ Help us remember our dignity as children of God. Defend us from all dangers and every occasion of sin in times of trouble and temptation, and encourage us in virtue. ~~~~~~ Help us to lives of courage, purity, and chastity; to encourage one another, to be good examples to one another; and to reach others with the message of love, hope, and true freedom. ~~~~~~ Help us to serve God faithfully and to work tirelessly to end all sins against life in the world and to know our faith, live our faith, love our faith, and to be worthy messengers as we lead others to God. Amen.
