Digital Holy Card: Consecration To St. Raphael

Digital Holy Card






Holy Archangel Raphael,
 standing so close to the throne of God
 and offering Him our prayers,
 I venerate you as God’s special Friend and Messenger.
 I choose you as my Patron
 and wish to love and obey you as young Tobias did.
 I consecrate to you my body and soul,
 all my work, and my whole life.
 I want you to be my Guide and Counsellor
 in all the dangerous and difficult problems
 and decisions of my life.

Remember, dearest Saint Raphael,
 that the grace of God preserved you with the good angels in heaven
 when the proud ones were cast into hell.
 I entreat you, therefore,
 to help me in my struggle against the world,
 the flesh, and the devil.
 Defend me from all dangers
 and every occasion of sin.
 Direct me always in the way of peace, safety, and salvation.
 Offer my prayers to God as you offered those of Tobias,
 so that through your intercession
 I may obtain the graces necessary for the salvation of my soul.
 Remember me and always entreat for me
 before the Face of the Son of God.
 Help me to love and serve my God faithfully,
 to die in His grace,
 and finally to merit to join you
 in seeing and praising God forever in heaven.
