Any novena or prayer suggested for finding future spouse?

[shanishani7]

I have prayed 54-days Rosary Novena for my petition of meeting future spouse/ husband around a year ago, however I still cannot meet any. I have prayed to St Raphael also, still no answer.

Is there any other novena or prayer for meeting future spouse?

Or should I just say the same novena / prayers repeatedly until my prayer is answered?

Please also say a prayer for me if you could. Thank you.

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 divine wisdom You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage. May his character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart. May he be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please You to entrust to 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 Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of the young, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future husband. 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 to eternal joys in the next.
Amen.

The couple who run the website, as well as other Catholic businesses, PrayMoreNovenas.com, met following the wife finishing a novena to St. Ann. I urge you to
check their story out and join in at the above website.

St Jude, for everything and always!

I would also suggest that while you pray to meet someone, you also focus on asking for the grace and wisdom to make right anything in your life that may be hindering you from meeting someone. I have been doing the Mary, Undoer of Knots Novena, and let me tell you; it has brought to the surface some things that I didn’t even realize were issues in my life!

Here’s the thing. Unless you really didn’t do a good job praying the first time round I’m not sure you’d need another novena here. I mean think about what you’re really asking. You’re pretty much asking if a novena has any power. And of course it does. So if it has that kind of power isn’t the next step supposed to be to show faith that it’s going to actually work? So if you’ve now got that faith that it’s going to work. If you really believe it. The next step is probably to put yourself in a spot where the novena can actually take hold. I mean you didn’t expect a man to fall through your window onto your couch just at the end right? So that means you’ve now got to put yourself in a spot where a guy can actually find you. That could be online on a new dating site. Or it could mean that you join a new activity that you’ve always wanted to do. Or it could mean joining a church group. Or choir. Somewhere that gets you seen.

And of course it also means dressing your best (not formal, but just stuff that makes you look good) and being more active. Maybe even being a bit more daring or forward than you would have been in the past. I don’t know. I mean a lot of this depends on how old you are and what keeps you busy during the day of course. But these are the ideas that come to me. As I’m sitting here. Thinking about these kinds of things.

Peace Shanishani. And good luck!
