STUDENT EXAM PRAYER
O St. Joseph of Cupertino who by your prayer obtained from God to be asked at your examination the only preposition you knew. Grant that I may succeed in the exam. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. O St. Joseph of Cupertino pray for me. O Holy Spirit enlighten me. Our Lady of Good Studies pray for me. Sacred Heart of Jesus, Seat of divine wisdom, enlighten me.
