From The Prayer Before Study, by Saint Thomas Aquinas: Prayer To St. Joseph of Cupertino, Patron Saint of Exams!
Ineffable Creator...
You are proclaimed
the true font of light and wisdom,
and the primal
origin
raised high beyond all things.
Pour forth a ray of Your brightness
into the darkened places of my mind;
disperse from my
soul the twofold darkness
into which I was born:
sin and ignorance.
You make eloquent the tongues of infants.
Refine my speech
and pour forth upon my lips
the
goodness of Your blessing.
May You guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to completion.
You Who are true God and true Man, Who live and reign, world without end.
Amen
Remember, when you succeed in the exams, to thank St. Joseph of Cupertino and let others
know!
