Prayer for a Good Husband (Part 2)

O Jesus Lover of the young,
The Dearest Friend I have,
In all confidence I open my heart to You,
To beg Your Light and Assistance in the
Important task of planning for my future.
Send me such a one whom You judge best
To be united with me in marriage.
May he be upright and loyal, pure, sincere
And noble that with united efforts
And pure love, in body and soul
As well as the children, it may please You
To entrust to our care.
Bless our friendship before marriage
That sin may always have no part of it.
May our mutual love bind us so closely
That our future home be most like Your home in Nazareth.
O, Mary Dearest Mother, You are my guiding star
Direct me to the person with whom I can cooperate
In doing God’s Holy Will and thus
Attain eternal joy in the next.

Amen.
