O Mary, Model of pure love, and therefore of sweethearts, I beseech thee to direct me in my choice of a future husband. Grant me especially wisdom and deliberation in this choice. Make both my friendship and courtship 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
