PRAYER TO ST. RAPHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

raphael-002Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the “medicine of God” I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (here mention your special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Fall in Love

Leave a comment

by Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. (1907–1991)

Nothing is more practical
than finding God,
than falling in Love
in a quite absolute, final way.

What you are in love with,
what seizes your imagination,
will affect everything.

It will decide
what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you do with your evenings,
how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom you know,
what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.

Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of us your faithful
and kindle in us the fire of your love
Send fourth Your Spirit and we shall be created,
and You shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray:

O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructs
the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same
Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in his consolations.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;

who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The Forgiveness Prayer – by Fr. Robert DeGrandis

Leave a comment

Lord Jesus Christ, I ask today to forgive everyone in my life. I know that You will give me strength to forgive and I thank You that You love me more than I love myself and want my happiness more than I desire it for myself.

Lord Jesus, I want to be free from the feelings of resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness toward You for the times I thought You sent death, hardships, financial difficulties, punishments and sickness into our family.

Lord, I forgive myself for my sins, faults and failings. For all that is truly bad in myself or all that I think is bad, I do forgive myself. For any delvings in the occult; Ouija boards, horoscopes, seances, fortune telling, lucky charms, for taking Your name in vain, for not worshiping You, for hurting my parents, for getting drunk, for taking dope, for sins against my purity, for adultery, for abortion, for stealing, for lying.
