Prayer to the Archangel Saint Raphael

Holy guide, Saint Raphael, you who found a life companion to young Tobias, guide me also in my desires and comfort me in my doubts.

Many dangers lie in my way. Be my guiding light.

Through your intercession, may I find the one intended to me by God. Together may we to build a truly Catholic home that will give glory to God. And may we live in happiness in this world and the Kingdom to come.

**
Prayer to Saint Mary Mother of God**

Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, please intercede for me to your Divine Son. I confide to you my prayer to find a faithful Catholic to assist me in building a truly Christian home.

Please plead to Him for me, that together with the Father, He will send the Holy Ghost to guide me on my journey to the one who will stand before God with me to pronounce the sacred vows of marriage.

Present to your Holy Son, as a token of my sincere request, my firm will to obey His teachings and those of His Church within my future marriage as well as my commitment to always consider The Holy Family as the perfect model for the family He will have allowed me to build.

In confidence I ask this, O Blessed Mother, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ your Son and our Savior.

Amen.
**
Prayer to Jesus
**
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, overflowing with love for souls, please guide and bless all those who wish to build strong Catholic families.

See the honesty of their hearts, dear Lord, and their strong desire to step upon the path to a strong Sacramental Marriage. Allow them to meet the one who will be with them to build a Christian family according to Your desire and the teaching of your holy Church.

Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, see the loneliness of those who search for love within a Catholic marriage. Bring those hearts together and allow them to be together to create beautiful Catholic families to raise children who will learn to love and serve You.

Then as you reign over the Catholic family and thus the world, communities may be born to shine as a lamps upon the earth and glorify God through His Holy Catholic Church.

This we ask with complete trust and faith in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for one purpose only, the Glory of God Almighty.

Amen.
