Thank you for all of the content you posted, Hobble.
A Happy and Blessed Feast day of St. Raphael the Archangel to everyone! On this day, I think some would enjoy reading the Book of Tobias:

From the tome Kyrie Eleison: Two Hundred Litanies with Historico-Liturgical Introduction and Notes by Rev. Fr. Benjamin Francis Musser, O.F.M. (Westminster, MD: The Newman Bookshop, 1944), here is a Litany of the Holy Angels.

St. Raphael the Archangel is the celestial Patron of: 1) travelers, 2) those who are seeking for one to betroth and espouse, 3) those who are afflicted with physical sickness, 4) those who are afflicted with spiritual troubles (especially temptations of the devils), 5) those who strive to be chaste in body and pure of heart, 6) those who seek domestic and filial tranquility and order, 7) those who strive to cooperate with the graces of Holy Matrimony that they may thereby sanctify their homes and families, 8) young Catholics, 9) and everyone else!
The Book of Tobias in our Sacred Scriptures narrates the circuŠ¼stances that substantiate why the patronage and tutelage of the Archangel St. Raphael ought to be invoked for the above intentions. It would be most pleasing to this celestial Prince for his clients to meditate upon the passages of this beautiful Book of Holy Writ.
Here is a prayer I found in the tome Byzantine Missal for Sundays and Feast Days with Rites of Sacraments, and Various Offices and Prayers published at Birmingham, Alabama, by St. George's R. C. Byzantine Church in 1958, (having been printed at Tournai, Belgium, by Société Saint Jean l' Evangéliste, Desclée & Cie).

I prayed the prayer Hobbles shared. While I know it's not about feelings, it still gave me a powerful sense of holy angelic assistance. Thanks, Hobbles, may St .Raphael Archangels guide and protect you! (and everyone else)
