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 my future
Give me the light of Your grace,
that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is
to be my partner through life
Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your devine
wisdom
You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage
May his/her character reflect some of the traits of
Your own Scared Heart
May S/he be unselfish love we both may strive to
perfect ourselves in soul and body
as well as the children it may please You to entrust
our care
Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may
have no part in it
May our mutual love bind us so closely
that our future home may ever be most like Your own at
Nazareth
O Marry immaculate, sweet mother of the young
To Your special care I entrust the decision I am to
make as to my future husband/wife
You are my guiding star!
Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate
in doing God's Holy Will
with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in
this life
and attain eternal joys in the next.
Amen.
