A Student’s Prayer to St. Anthony
O blessed Saint Anthony, may all students place their studies under your powerful protection. Through your intercession, may the Holy Spirit fill them with light, strength, intelligence, and humility. I implore the Creator of all things to grant these students the ability to grasp concepts correctly, and the talent to be exact in their answers. Through Christ Our Lord, amen.
A Student’s Prayer to the Blessed Mother
Under thy patronage, dear Mother,
and calling on the mystery of thine Immaculate Conception,
I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors:
I hereby solemnly declare
that I am giving myself to these studies
chiefly to the following end:
that I may the better contribute to the glory of God
and to the promotion of thy veneration among people.
I pray thee, therefore, most loving Mother,
who art the Seat of Wisdom,
to bless my labors in thy loving-kindness.
Moreover I promise with true affection and a willing spirit,
as it is right that I should do,
to ascribe all the good that shall come to me therefrom,
wholly to thine intercession for me
in God’s holy presence.
Through Christ Our Lord, amen.
