Prayer to Saint Raphael

O Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are
waiting for us: Raphael, Angel of happy meeting, lead us by the hand
toward those we are looking for. May all our movements be guided by
your Light and transfigured with your joy.

Angel, guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at
the feet of Him on whole unveiled Face you are privileged to
gaze. Lonely and tired, crush by the separations and sorrows of life,
we feel the need of calling you and of pleading for the protection of
your wings, so that we may not be as strangers in the province of joy,
all ignorant of the concerns of our country. Remember the weak, you
who are strong, you whose home lies beyond the region of thunder, in a
land that is always peaceful, always serene and bright with the
resplendent glory of God.

from the French of Ernest Hello
