Novena to St Raphael for making a good marriage
Will God answer our prayers? Will He give the desires we ask for? The answer is yes, if those things are according to the plan He has for us. His love for us is endless. Because of this, we are beneficiaries of the limitless comfort He gives us through the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:18 reads: —Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.?? Like those who came before us, we are part of God??s master purpose. We are part of His plan, not ours. God looks at the big picture much like we look at the big puzzles we buy for our children. God looks at each of us as a unique piece in the puzzle of this temporary life as we, on an earthly scale, look at our cardboard puzzles and carefully fit the pieces together to make a whole. Each piece is vital for completeness and beauty. God has an eternal master design for mankind. We are His living pieces which will ultimately comprise His ultimate design. Each of us, seemingly small in the scheme of things comprise an eternal importance to God, and as He continues His skillful architecture, He hears and listens to each cry, each plea as He continues to join us all together in His massive whole where each of our names and images are set in a kaleidoscope of beauty that will last for eternity.
Someday, God will wipe away each tear we shed. No hurting wound will be allowed to fester. Can you accept and believe this? Each burden, each trial, each unfair humiliation, each failure, each time of suffering, will be transformed into joy. The bible tells us —...God will wipe away every tear from (our) their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away??. Rev 21:4.
Continue to pray, for Jesus tells us to bring all things to Him. Be faithful always, with trust and worship. Keep asking and believing. Stand firm, knowing in your heart that you are loved. He does what is best for you and through you for the salvation of the world as a whole. Even with His —no??s He hones us according to the supreme and final goal He has for all who persevere. Someday we will know He carried you, and you, and me through all the dangers and toils with answers to our prayers, whether visible or not. In the height of each trial He is right there, offering a cooling drink of faith, handing us a golden gift of trust and courage. One

NOVENA PRAYER TO ST RAPHAEL
O Glorious St. Raphael, Patron and Lover of the Young, I call upon thee and plead with thee for thy help.In all confidence I open my heart to thee, to beg thy guidance and assistance in the important task of planning my future. Obtain for me through thy intercession the light of God??s grace, so that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner through life. O Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand to find each other. May all our movements be guided by thy light and transfigured by thy joy. As thou didst lead the young Tobias to Sara and opened up for him a new life of happiness with her in holy marriage, lead me to such a one whom in thine angelic wisdom thou dost judge best suited to be united with me in marriage.
St. Raphael, loving Patron of those seeking a marriage partner, help me in this supreme decision of my life. Find for me as a helpmate in life that person whose character will reflect the traits of Jesus and Mary. May he (she) be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with chaste and unselfish love, we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please God to entrust to our care.
St. Raphael, Angel of chaste courtship, bless our friendship and our love, that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely that our future home may ever be most like the home of the Holy Family of Nazareth. Offer thy prayers to God for both of us and obtain the blessing of God upon our marriage, as thou wert the herald of blessing for the marriage of Tobias and Sara.
St. Raphael, Friend of the Young, be thou my friend, for I shall always be thine. I desire ever to invoke thee in my needs. To thy special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future wife (husband). Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God??s Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love, and harmony in this life and attain to eternal joy in the next. Amen.
In honor of St. Raphael recite one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be.
This is novena prayer so say it for 9 days and publish. God bless.
