Happy Feast Day of St. Raphael the Archangel! Vatican II may have moved it to Sept. 29 (shame on them), but today is his real Feast Day.

God Bless.

I pray to St. Raphael every time before getting into a motor vehicle.

I did this for six years in Houston, Texas, and never had an accident.

And I rode a motor scooter. On the streets of Houston, Texas. For six years.

If he wasn't already a Saint, that miracle alone would be enough for him to be canonized!

Quote

St. Raphael is the patron of those who travel, and with even more Divine approval than even dear St. Christopher. With accidents in travelling as numerous as they are, one feels safer after calling for the aid of the Angel whom God chose to guide Tobias on his perilous journey. The Church has long sanctioned the practice of praying to St. Raphael before setting out on a trip.
