We challenge you to memorize this Bible Verse of the Day: James 4:8

Read the Saint story with your child and have them color the picture below

St. Raphael the Archangel

St. Raphael is one of the seven angels that stands before the throne of God in heaven, and one of the three Archangels who is mentioned by name in the Bible. The other two are St. Gabriel and St. Michael.

St. Raphael is mentioned in the Book of Tobit, where he was sent on a mission from God to help a young man named Tobias.

He was sent to guide Tobias on a journey, and that is why Raphael is known as the patron saint of travelers.

Raphael is also the patron saint of healing because he helped heal Tobias’ father who was blind.

We can ask this great Archangel to pray for us whenever we are sick, or when we are traveling somewhere on a journey.

St. Raphael, Pray for us.

Connection Questions:

Where is your favorite place to pray?   

What are some of your favorite prayers? 

How is prayer like taking a ride in an airplane?

Taking a ride in an airplane can make us think of prayer. Picture Jesus as the pilot and we are his passengers. When we get onboard PRAYER AIRLINES and allow Jesus to be our pilot, it can be quite the RADICAL RIDE. Sometimes, the ride may be smooth, calm and peaceful, and other times we may experience some turbulence with ups and downs, but that’s okay. Jesus, our pilot, has things under control and when we trust in Him, we can enjoy the Radical Ride he has planned out for us.

Closing Prayer 

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

Come Holy Spirit, teach me to pray. Help me to let go of my worries and my distractions and to trust in you. Jesus, I want to receive your love more fully into my heart. Thank you for loving me. AMEN.
