Prayers, please. Young Couple

[Emily2009]

Please pray for my boyfriend and I. We are relatively young but have been together a bit under three years. We would like to get married someday and believe that is our calling; however, it is extremely hard to stay chaste and pure these days as our desires are so strong. This has put a strain in our relationship. We are both in college–I’m a sophomore/junior (graduating in three years) and he is a freshman; we’ll both graduate in 2014, me with a Masters degree, him with a bachelors. We are hoping to be married in December of 2011. However, we are both dealing with a lot of stress [unnecessary].

We have a continuous arguement about drinking and what is acceptable, etc., I do not drink hardly at all; however, he makes it an important part of his life. Please help us to reach an understanding and a conclusion to what this means to our life. He does NOT typically get drunk [has a few times] but continuously pushes to the limit of how much he can drink w/o getting drunk. This scares/worries me…and bothers me a lot. He feels like I do not respect him/fine him responsible because of this fear.

Please pray for us along our journey. Any advice would be much appreciated, too.

Praying that you both center your lives on Christ and His Sacraments, and pray together as a couple every day.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Amen.

 

[ProVobis]

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
