PRAYER FOR STUDENTS
God of Light and Truth, thank you

for giving me a mind that can know
and a heart that can love. Help me
to keep learning every day of my
life, for all knowledge can lead me
to You. Lead me to be aware of
Your presence in all things and at
all times.
PRAYER FOR STUDENTS
Encourage me when my studies are

difficult and when I am tempted to
give up. Give me confidence when
my brain seems slow to understand
and the way forward is filled with
struggles and challenges.
PRAYER FOR STUDENTS
Grant me the grace to fully express

all the talents and gifts You have
entrusted to me to explore the world
You have created, certain that in
Your love and goodness all will be
well in my life according to Your
Divine plan. Amen.

SOME AREAS WE MUST PREPARE:
A. PHYSICAL PREPARATION:
I Corinthians 3:16-17 “Do you not know that
you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s
temple, God will destroy that person; for the
temple of God, which you are, is holy.”
1. A strong, healthy body is a wonderful asset
to a happy marriage.
2. Illness and physical weakness often put

severe strains on marriage.
3. A sincere effort should be made to avoid

habits such as smoking, drinking, and any
others that are harmful to the body.
B. MORAL PREPARATION:
1. There is no substitute for moral purity.
2. Romans 13:9 “The commandments, “You shall
not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not
steal, you shall not covet and whatever other
commandments, there may be, are summed up in
this saying, “You shall love your neighbour as
yourself.”
C. INTELLECTUAL PREPARATION:
1. Persons mature physically before they mature

in character.
2. Ten years later, the teenager will not be at all
the same kind of person he or she is now.
D. VOCATIONAL PREPARATION:
1. The husband is the breadwinner.
2. One must not cut short his educational or
vocational preparation for marriage.
3. We are living in the age "of education". It is a
must if one does not want to starve along with
his family.
E. SPIRITUAL PREPARATION:
1. Are you a Christian? This includes a regular
attendance of the Holy Mass, but even more than this
- read the Sermon of the Mount in Matthew 6:33 “But
seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
and all these things will be given you besides.”
2. The Lord must be first in the Christian's life. Both
parties should be a Christian."
F. EMOTIONAL PREPARATION:
1. One of the chief causes of failure in marriage is
emotional immaturity on the part of one of the
partners.
2. You should be able to carry a reasonable load of
emotional tension without blowing up. You should
have outgrown childish and foolish fears and anxieties
such as fear of the dark or of being alone. Learn to
expect to be treated as a responsible partner in
marriage.
1 Peter 3: 10-11
“For whoever would love life and see good days
must keep the tongue from evil”
Taming our tongue is one sign of maturity.

Knowing what to say, how to say and when to say
a word is essential in establishing harmonious
relationship with one another.
3. You should be emotionally independent of
your parents and able to stand on your own
feet and make your own decisions in life.
1 Cor. 13:11 “When I was a child, I used to talk

as a child, think as a child, reason as a child;
when I became a man, I put aside childish
things.”
