Day 5 — Freedom from bonds

Reading

In the book of Tobit, Saint Raphael freed Sarah from the demon Asmodeus, who had killed her seven husbands. With the fish's heart and with prayer, the evil one was driven out. Saint Raphael is also the "terror of demons" and the "extirpator of vices." Entrust to him any spiritual bond or oppression that afflicts you.

Prayer of the Day

Saint Raphael, terror of demons, free me from every oppression and bond that keeps me from living in the freedom of the children of God. Amen.

Final Prayer (for all days)

Saint Raphael, one of the seven glorious spirits who stand before the throne of him who lives and reigns, Angel of healing, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe and cure our pains. Heal those afflicted by illness and guide our steps when we doubt our way. Amen.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, and Gloria).
