Prayer for Daughter Taking the MCATs on May 19

[MCATMom]

I am asking for prayers for my daughter who will be taking the MCATs on May 19. She is an amazing young woman who has worked incredibly hard to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor. She is a selfless person who wants to be able to help others. I am praying that God calms her nerves and grants her the knowledge, insight and focus to do well on the exam. Thank you all!

 

[Nelka]

We beseech Thee, O Lord, to grant us the pardon of our sins by the intercession of Saint Philomena, virgin and martyr, who was always pleasing in Thy sight by her eminent chastity and by the profession of every virtue. Amen. Illustrious virgin and martyr, Saint Philomena, behold me prostrate before the throne whereupon it has pleased the Most Holy Trinity to place thee. Full of confidence in thy protection, I entreat thee to intercede for me with God, from the heights of Heaven deign to cast a glance upon thy humble client! Spouse of Christ, sustain me in suffering, fortify me in temptation, protect me in the dangers surrounding me, obtain for me the graces necessary to me, and in particular help us in our needs. Above all, assist me at the hour of my death. Saint Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Amen. O God, Most Holy Trinity, we thank Thee for the graces Thou didst bestow upon the Blessed Virgin Mary, and upon Thy handmaid Philomena, through whose intercession we implore Thy Mercy. 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 there from,
wholly to thine intercession for me in God’s holy presence.

Through Christ Our Lord, amen.

Prayer for Test-Takers

Almighty God and Father,
please help us in our examinations.
Help us to face them with courage,
steady in nerves and keen in mind.
Help us to understand the questions that are asked,
to remember all that we have studied,
and to express our answers accurately.
Lord, grant us success, if success is good for us,
For you know what is best for each one of us.
With loving trust therefore we say,
“Whatever the results, blessed be Your holy will.”
We make this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Dear Jesus, Mary and Joseph, please help and be with MCATMom’s daughter as she takes this important exam.
I also humbly ask for the intercession of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Scholastica, and St. Gemma Galgani, patron saints of students, in this case. Amen.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (MCATMom), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Prayers for your daughter, her medical education and career. But first for her success on the MCAT.

Our Lady of Lourdes
O ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of mercy,
health of the sick, refuge of sinners, comfort of the afflicted,
you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;
deign to cast upon me a look of mercy.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
you were pleased to make it a privileged sanctuary,
whence you dispense your favors,
and already many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities,
both spiritual and corporal. I come,
therefore, with the most unbounded confidence,
to implore your maternal intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.
I will endeavor to imitate your virtues,
that I may one day share your glory, and bless you in eternity.
-Amen
