Prayer of a Young Man for His Girl

Lord, grant me Your Grace to honor all girls, for my mother once was of their age, and I would not wish to learn that, meeting her then, some young men would not honor her. I do not wish to indulge in the love that awakens in my heart, but I want to keep it as a very precious thing. I promise You, Jesus, that I will be so independent that I will never yield to the influence of friends who empty their hearts in fleeting romantic adventures.

For often they do not realize what they are doing, seeking only selfish pleasure. I promise You, Jesus, not to waste my precious time nor to destroy my physical and moral condition by viewing and reading indecent literature that could diminish in me respect for a girl, for love, for the transmission of life, for motherhood.

Jesus, somewhere there lives a single girl who, according to Your Holy Will, will be my beloved, my wife, and the mother of my children. Out of love for her and out of love for You, Lord, I promise to be worthy of her and pure in soul and body. Amen.
