Saint Raphael, loving Patron of those seeking a partner, help me in this supreme decision of my life. Find for me as a help-mate in life the person whose character may reflect some of the traits of Jesus and Mary. May he be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with chaste and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as any children it may please God to entrust to our care.
Saint Raphael, Angel of chaste courtship, bless our friendship and our love that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely that our future home may ever be most like the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Offer your prayers to God for the both of us and obtain the blessing of God upon our union, as you were the herald of blessing for the marriage of Tobias and Sara.
Saint Raphael, Friend of the young, be my Friend, for I shall always
be yours. I desire ever to invoke you in my needs. To
your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future
companion. Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing
God’s Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love, and harmony in this
life, and attain to eternal joy in the next. Amen.
In honor of Saint Raphael: Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.
Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand toward those
we are looking for. May all our movements and all their movements be guided
by your Light and transfigured by your Joy.
Angel Guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the Feet of Him on Whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. (Mention request.)
Lonely and tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings so that we may not be strangers in the Province of Joy, and ignorant of the concerns of our country.
Remember the weak, you who are strong -- you whose home lies beyond
the regions of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene,
and bright with the resplendent glory of God.
