“O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino,
who while on earth did obtain from God the grace
to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew,
obtain for us a like favour in the examinations for which we are now preparing.
In return we promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.
Through Christ our Lord.
St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us.
Amen”.
"Loving Father,
Source of all wisdom,
help us to use our time
and our intelligence wisely
as we prepare for our exams.
Help us to dispose ourselves
to listen to Your Holy Spirit,
so that You, as our Loving Father,
may place us in a state of prayer
and lead us to understand
that the supreme wisdom
is knowing we are Your children.
Help us to remain serene
so that our work may truly reflect
this profound truth.
Mary, Mother of our spiritual life,
guide us in the ways of your Son,
so that our work may help
to transform this world for His glory.
Amen". - (Adapted from a prayer card distributed by the Newman Catholic Center
at Baruch College, New York City).
