Dear St. Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings,
lead us by the hand toward those we are waiting for
and those who are waiting for us.

May all our movements, all their movements,
be guided by the light and transfigured by thy joy.

Angel guide of Tobias,
lay the request we now address to thee
at the feet of Him
on whose unveiled face thou
art privileged to gaze. (Mention your request)

Lonely and weary,
deeply grieved by the separation and sorrows of earth,
we feel the need of calling out to thee
and of pleading for the protection of thy wings
so that we may not be as strangers in the province of joy.

Remember the weak, thou who art strong,
whose home lies beyond the region of thunder,
in a land that is always peaceful,
always serene and bright
with the resplendent glory of God.  Amen.

Immaculate Mother, Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe.
Health of the sick, your anointed heavenly hands healed Juan Bernardino,
and brought us the River of Light, of Life, and Health.

Into your heavenly hands I commend my faith, my hope
and all of my sufferings.  Please unite them to the  Passion
of your Son, Jesus Christ, that they may serve as instruments
of my salvation and the salvation of all of my brothers and
sisters.  From this moment on, I accept all that the Sacred
Heart of your Son may wish to send me.

O Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, I trust that you will
give me the strength and all that I need to live with spiritual
health, and if it serves God's glory and my true well-being,
you will give me my physical health also.

Oh my God, together with Our Lady of Guadalupe,
I offer you the Precious Blood of Jesus,
from all the altars throughout the world,
joining with the Precious Blood
my every thought word and action of this day.

Heavenly Father, in Your Presence, I consecrate my
life to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary.

Jesus, Son of God, I pray for the descent of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, bless me with all Your gifts.
Inflame my heart with the Fire of Divine Love.

Merciful Mother, pray for me
that I may deny myself
and take up my cross,
that Christ the King may reign in me.

(Ephesians 6:10-18)

Lord, I put on the whole armor of God that I may stand clothed in Christ

I put the Helmet of Salvation on my head.
I bring my mind into the captivity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I submit my will to Your will and I pray that your perfect will be done in me.

I pull the Helmet down over my eyes to see through the eyes of Jesus.

I pull the Helmet down over my nose that I might partake of the fragrance of the Lord,
that I may be pleasing unto Him.

I pull the Helmet down over my ears to hear the voice of the Lord and to obey His voice.

I pull the Helmet down over my mouth that the word of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
may be one acceptable to you, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer

I put the Breastplate of Righteousness over my heart, and I thank you for the garment, for I have none of my own.

I put the Girdle of Truth around my waist that I may stand secure.  Strengthen in me the inner woman/man.

I put the Shoes of the Gospel of Peace and Wholeness on my feet that I may go and proclaim the good news of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

I take up the Shield of Faith with my left hand to quench the fiery darts of the enemy.  You, oh Lord are my Strength,
my High Tower and my Redeemer; to you alone do I run.

I take the Sword of the Spirit with my right hand which is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
and discerning the intentions of the heart.

Thank you Lord,
for placing this Cloak of Glory around me
that the Glory of the Lord is my Rear Guard.
Cover me in Your Precious Blood,
and create in me a Clean Heart.
Renew a Right Spirit within me,
erect a thick Shield of Light around me,
and let no evil befall me.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.   Amen.

Heavenly Father, I love you, I praise You, and I worship you.
I thank you for sending your Son Jesus Who won victory over
sin and death for my salvation.  I thank You for sending Your
Holy Spirit Who empowers me, guides me, and leads me into
fulness of life.  I thank You for Mary, my Heavenly Mother, who
intercedes with the holy angels and saints for me.

    Lord Jesus Christ, I place myself at the foot of Your cross
and ask You cover me with your Precious Blood which pours
forth from your Most Sacred Heart and Your Most Holy Wounds.
Cleanse me, my Jesus, in the living water that flows from Your
Heart.  I ask You to surround me, Lord Jesus, with Your Holy
Light.

    Heavenly Father, let the healing waters of my baptism now
flow back through the maternal and paternal generations to purify
my family line of satan and sin.  I come before You, Father,
and ask forgiveness for myself, my relatives, and my ancestors,
for any calling upon powers that set themselves up in opposition
to You or that do not offer true honor to Jesus Christ.  In Jesus'
Holy Name, I now reclaim any territory that was hander over to
satan and place it under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

    By the power of Your Holy Spirit, reveal to me, Father, any
people I need to forgive and any areas of unconfessed sin.  Re-
veal aspects of my life that are not pleasing to You, Father, ways
that have given or could give satan a foothold in my life.  Father,
I give to You any unforgiveness; I give to You my sins; and I give
to You all ways that satan has a hold of my life.  Thank You,
Father for these relevations.  Thank You, for Your forgiveness
and Your Love.

    Lord Jesus, in Your Holy Name, I bind all evil spirits of the
air, water, ground, underground, and netherworld.  I further bind,
in Jesus' Name, any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters
and claim the Precious Blood of Jesus on the air, atmosphere,
water, ground and their fruits around us, the underground and
the netherworld below.

    Heavenly Father, allow Your Son Jesus to come now with
the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the holy angels and the
saints to protect me from all harm and to keep all evil spirits
from taking revenge on me in any way.

(Repeat the following sentence three times:  once in honor of the
Father, once in honor of the Son, and once in honor of the Holy
Spirit)

   In the Holy Name of Jesus, I seal myself, my relatives, this
room (place, home, church, car, plane, etc. ...), and all sources
of supply in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
 

     Holy Spirit, please reveal to me through word of knowledge
any evil spirits that have attached themselves to me in any way.
(Pause and wait for words to come to you, such as: anger,
arrogance, bitterness, brutality, confusion, cruelty, deception,
envy, fear, hatred, insecurity, jealousy, pride, resentment, or
terror.  Pray the following for each of the evil spirits revealed.)

    In the Name of Jesus, I rebuke you spirit of _______________.
I command you to go directly to Jesus, without manifestation and
without harm to me or anyone, so that He can dispose of you
according to His Holy Will.

    I thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your Love.  I thank You,
Holy Spirit for empowering me to be aggressive against satan
and evil spirits.  I thank you, Jesus, for setting me free.  I thank
you, Mary, for interceding for me with the holy angels and the
saints.

    Lord Jesus, fill me with charity, compassion, faith, gentleness,
hope, humility, joy, kindness, light, love, mercy, modesty,
patience, peace, purity, security, serenity, tranquility, trust,
truth, understanding and wisdom.  Help me to walk in Your Light
and Truth, illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that together We may
praise, honor and glorify Our Father in time and in eternity.  For
You, Lord Jesus, are "... the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6 NAB)
and You "... have come that we might have life and have it more
abundantly" (John 10:10 JB).

  "God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid.  My
strength and courage is the Lord, and he has been my savior"
(Isaiah 12:2  JB).   Amen.  Alleluia.  Amen.
