Lord, give me a husband who is pleasing to You and pleasing to me.
Oh, All-merciful Lord, I know that my great happiness depends on the fact that I love You with all my soul and with all my heart, and that I fulfill Your holy will in everything. Rule Yourself, O my God, over my soul and fill my heart: I want to please You alone, for You are the Creator and my God.
Save me from pride and self-love: let reason, modesty and chastity adorn me. Idleness is disgusting to You and gives rise to vices, so give me the desire for hard work and bless my labors. Since Your Law commands people to live in honest marriage, then lead me, Holy Father, to this calling sanctified by You, not to please my lust, but to fulfill Your destiny, for You Yourself said: it is not good for man to be alone, and having created a wife for him as a helper, You blessed them to grow, multiply and populate the earth.
Hear my humble prayer, sent to You from the depths of a girl’s heart; Give me an honest and pious spouse, so that in love with him and in harmony we glorify You, the merciful God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
