I just want to share something which happened in my life recently.
A few months back I moved to another country for job and I was having a tough time trying to make friends.(I m not very good at making friends).I started feeling lonely at a despair started creeping into my mind.Finally one day I randomly came across a webiste which mentioned that St Raphael is the patron saint of those who seek friendship ,relationships,marriage etc…And I started praying St Rapahel Novena.I didnot complete the Novena.But what happened was that I was miraculously led to bible study group(catholic).by some one whom I knew.I am part of that group for almost a month.And ever since I started going to that group I m feeling not so lonely.I believe this was made possible by the intercession of St .Raphael

**
Prayer to St. Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings**

O Raphael, lead us towards those we are waiting for, those who are
waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand
towards those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their
movements, be guided by your Light and transfigured by your joy.

Angel guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet
of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and
tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need
of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so
that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of
the concerns of our country.

Remember the weak, you who are strong–you 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
 
That’s wonderful. A bible study is a great way to meet people and study God’s Word.
St Raphael
Pray for us.

Beautiful. I too was helped by the intercession of St. Raphael and also St. Pio of Pietrelcina. The name Raphael means “God Heals”. I was praying for someone in my life to be healed and God is so amazing that He pointed out to me thru St. Raphael that it was me that He wanted to heal at that time of something that I really needed healing for and shortly after, entered the confessional to let the healing begin (St. Pio is known for his work in the confessional).

Praise God for being so Faithful and never giving up on me. As for the person that I was praying for and to be healed…

I guess in God’s good time. St. Monica pray for us.

Hi Nimzovik,

Just wanted to tell you how you can keep track of a thread without having to post on it.
Go to the top of a post, and on the right side you will see a box that says “THREAD TOOLS”.
Click on it, and the third line down will say, “SUBSCRIBE TO THIS THREAD”.
Click on that, and click when it asks if you want to add this thread. 👍
 
I too have begun praying the Novena of St. Raphael and today is my 7th day 😃
I’m so happy to know that you have been led to a bible study to strengthen your faith and to be in good company! I hope that I may experience such grace too!

St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
 
I just couldn’t resist adding that I love St. Raphael very much. He has helped me through many things. I thought I was being so clever, years ago (1997) when I read the book of Tobit in which the Angel Raphael was the protector and escort, to adopt him into my prayers for safe travel. AfterwardsI learned he was already acknowledged to be the Healer, Protector, etc; It always amazes me when I come to a right conclusion even if I am a little behind! LOL
 
looks like the devil is playing his tricks on me…Feeling lonely and dejected since I had made the previous post:mad:
