Saint Raphael the Archangel is one of three angels mentioned by name in the Bible (along with Michael and Gabriel) where he features prominently in the Book of Tobit as a guide to Tobit (Tobias) who is blind. Therefore he is considered a patron of travellers and the blind.

Prayer to St. Raphael the Archangel
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 or by 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 tis life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the “physician of God,” I hubly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my 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.
