St. Gabriel the Archangel

St. Gabriel the Archangel, we venerate you as the “Angel of the Incarnation,” because God has specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give us tender and devoted hearts toward our Mother, more like your own.

We venerate you also as the “strength from God,” because you are the giver of God’s strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God’s faithful and to teach them important truths. We ask for the grace of a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life. Steady our resolutions, renew our courage, comfort and console us in the problems, trials, and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in His agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials.

St. Raphael the Archangel

Holy Archangel Raphael, standing so close to the throne of God and offering Him our prayers, we venerate you as God’s special Friend and Messenger. We choose you as our Patron and wish to love and obey you as young Tobiah did. We consecrate to you our bodies and souls, all our work, and our whole lives. We want you to be our Guide and Counselor in all the dangerous and difficult problems and decisions of our lives.

Remember, dearest St. Raphael, that the grace of God preserved you with the good Angels in Heaven when the proud ones were cast into Hell. We entreat you, therefore, to help us in our struggle against the world, the spirit of impurity, and the devil. Defend us from all dangers and every occasion of sin. Direct us always in the way of peace, safety, and salvation. Offer our prayers to God as you offered those of Tobiah, so that through your intercession we may obtain the graces necessary for the salvation of our souls. We ask you to pray that God grant us these favors if it be His holy Will: (Mention your requests).

St. Raphael, help us to love and serve our God faithfully, to die in His grace, and finally to merit to join you in seeing and praising God forever in Heaven. Amen.

Closing Prayer (to be said each day):

Heavenly King, You have given us archangels to assist us during our pilgrimage on earth.

Saint Michael is our protector; we ask him to come to our aid, fight for all of us and our loved ones, and protect us from danger.

Saint Gabriel is a messenger of the Good News; we ask him to help us clearly hear Your voice and to teach us the truth.

Saint Raphael is the healing angel; we ask him to take our needs for healing and those of everyone we know, lift them up to Your throne of grace, and deliver back to us the gift of recovery.

Help us, O Lord, to realize more fully the reality of the archangels and their desire to serve us. Holy angels, pray for us. Amen.
