Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Test Takers

.

A few minutes ago, my big boys filed into the large commons at school to begin their first day of semester exams. For my Francis, it is his first time for first semester exams. For my Anthony it is his last time for first semester exams, at least at SC. They will do this today, tomorrow and Thursday.

I offer this prayer.



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 my sons a like favour in the examinations for which they are now taking. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. Through Christ our Lord.

St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us. Amen.

    Barbara, Thank you for leaving this post. In preparing for a important test, I was looking for a special prayer and knew when I found this, it was the right one at the right time.

    I used this prayer today for my examinations. I thought this was a terrific resource. I really never knew about a saint to pray for when it came to exams and tests. I just wanted to say thank you for having this nice website. I enjoyed the nice music in the backround; great for meditating.

    Thanks again,

    Yours truley,

    A great supporter.

    Thank you so much for posting this prayer. St. Joseph was there for me when I graduated from college and I am praying to him now as I am about to take the GMAT for graduate school. I feel at ease knowing that St. Joseph is with me during this time.

    God Bless and thank you again.

    This is so neat! I was looking for a special prayer for my son taking his last final before graduation from the Air Force Academy. Guess what also found out the other day? St. Joseph of Cupertino is the patron saint of the Air Force! Thanks.

    St. Joseph of Cupertino, please be with me as I take my most important exam of my career this week. I too will fulfill this promise with a favorable outcome. My success on this exam will enable me to take care of sick patients and nurse them back to optimal health.
