Day 6 — Healing of illness

Reading

Saint Raphael is the Angel of healing. Through him God restored Tobit's sight and healed Sarah. Tradition attributes to him numerous miraculous cures. He is patron of the sick, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and all who suffer bodily ailments.

Prayer of the Day

Saint Raphael, medicine of God, stretch your healing hand over me and relieve my ailments. I trust in your powerful intercession for my health and that of my loved ones. 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).
