Saint Raphael, Tobias, and a dog

   
   "Saint Raphael, Tobias, and a dog"

   Saint Raphael is an Arch-Angel in all of the Abrahamic Religions.  Mentioned with Divine Power in the BOOK OF TOBIT, accepted as canonical by Catholics, this Divine Essence accompanies Tobias and a dog on their travels.  Tobias washes constantly, buries, the dead, and Raphael assists him in binding a demon; plus, more.  In the metaphysical genre, Saint Raphael is associated with the color green.  
  
   Here is a Prayer to Saint Raphael the Arch-Angel:
  
Glorious Archangel Saint 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, 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 you once helped the young Tobias on his travels.  Because you are the "physician of God," I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of mys soul and the ills that afflict my body.  I especially ask of you the favor (mention your petition) and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Saint Raphael of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him who lives and reigns, angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains.  Heal or cure the victim of disease, and guide our steps when doubtful of our ways,

                                                                    Amen.
