The Perfect Prayer

[AaronSawyer]

Hi, Im trying to find the perfect pray or scripture that I can give to my best friend in order to help her make the right decision when it comes to finding a boyfriend. She has a couple guys in mind but I want to be able to provide her with some help from the Bible along with praying for her to make the right choice.

Anyone have some good prayers or scripture? One I was thinking of was a prayer to St Raphael called “For the Choice of a Good Spouse”. Thank you in advance!

 

[NeedsMercy]

The basis for Raphael being the patron of Catholic singles is in the Book of Tobit where Tobias is led to Sarah. Here is the prayer that I think you mean:

O Raphael, lead us towards those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of happy meetings and Catholic singles, lead us by the hand towards those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their movements, be guided by your Light and transfigured by your Joy. Angel Guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet of Him on Whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of the concerns of our country. Remember the weak, you who are strong–you whose home lies beyond the region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene, and bright with the resplendent glory of God. Amen.
