BOY SWEETHEART'S PRAYER

O St. Joseph, Model of justice and therefore of husbands, I beseech thee to direct me in my choice of a future wife. Grant me especially wisdom and deliberation in this choice. Make both my friendship and courtship especially chaste, unselfish, prudent, thrifty, and cheerful. Be my companion in single as well as in wedded life.

Nihil Obstat, John H. Ramsey
Imprimatur, Bishop William T. Malloy
