Raphael is one of the three Archangels mentioned in Scripture. You can pray the full St. Healing Prayer of St. Raphael Say the same prayer each day for the 9 days of the novena. 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, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace.
You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners. I beg you, assist me in all my 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 you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor mention your request here and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Raphael, of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns, Angel of health, the Lord has filled your 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. I have been praying the novena for my daughter who struggles to sleep and fall asleep which often affects her emotionally too. Before I even finished the novena something changed and she was much calmer and started going to bed earlier than she has in years!! I prayed this novena for the young daughter of a co-worker who was basically bedridden with exhaustion, jaundice, her liver affected, and the doctors not listening to mom, who is a nurse.
A very scary situation. The day after I completed the Novena, I saw my co-worker again, and her daughter had finally been diagnosed with mononucleosis and Epstein Barr hepatitis, was given medication, and was already feeling well enough to return to school. She still has a lot of healing to do, but I am beyond grateful for my prayers being answered.
