St. Raphael Prayer for Happy Meetings

O Lord, through your Archangel Saint Raphael, grant me the favor of happy meetings with those I seek and those that seek me. As his name implies, Raphael is Your servant who brings joy to all our movements and reunions. Through him, you protect our journey so we will never feel like strangers in a strange land. You have graced us with the patronage of St. Raphael – Guardian Angel of Happy Meetings – so that we may call out to him and need not fear the unknown when separated. He stands at the threshold between earth’s separations and sorrows with strength beyond compare. It was by his guiding hand that Tobias was reunited with Sarah – an act remembered in Scripture forever! In this world full of loneliness and weariness, keep my faith strong as I pray for good fortunes at these crossroads of happy meetings under Saint Raphael’s protection, asking nothing less than grace to bring justice to strangers longing for reunion or solace after long journeys home; humbly supplicate You, God, on their behalf! Amen.

O Glorious St. Raphael, Archangel of Happy Meetings and Patron Saint of Travelers, I petition Thee to keep me safe on my journey! Be near and protect me from harm while I am away, and lead me safely to my destination. Fortify my faith that You will guide my steps through all the terrain I must cross – land, sea, or sky – and any strange or distant places where Thy presence is required for Divine protection over me. I thank you, Lord, for delivering Saint Raphael as an anchor during times when being lost feels inevitable so that with his help, Thou can steer us far from danger and distress towards grace, peace, and happiness! Amen.
