Marriage hopefuls, you have friends in high places.

One of the beauties of being Catholic is having recourse to the prayers of our Saints and all Heavenly Hosts. Prayer intentions can range from finding employment to - yes, that's right - finding your future mate! I know for people who want to find good Christian spouses in such a fallen world, the search often seems hopeless and in vain. But I would advise you to keep the faith, and never settle for anyone less than a godly man or woman with dignity, depth, and who simply radiates the love of Christ. Remember, that only people who know and love God can truly love.

Most important of all, pray. Pray for guidance that you may be led to the right vocation, be it marriage or otherwise. Pray that, if God has intended you for marriage, He would lead you to the right person. Pray that you will always be open to God's plan for your life. And to help your chances, enlist the help of the Saints and Angels, particularly, St. Raphael, who is the patron saint of finding your special someone.

As is written in Scripture 365 times, "be not afraid." The world is clearly in a bad way, but don't worry - you have friends in high places.
