PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO FOR SUCCESS IN EXAMINATIONS

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 me a like favor
in the examinations for which I am now preparing.
In return I promise to make you known
and cause you to be invoked.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO FOR ANY NEED

St. Joseph of Cupertino,
patron saint of students,
saint of joy,
master of prayer,
enchanted by the gospel and the Eucharist,
accept my prayer with kindness.
You who always faced the dificulties of life,
without ever straying from the divine will,
to which you adhered with constant faith and commitment;
now understand the special state of mind in which I find myself
and intercede with Our Lord
so that he may grant me the grace I so need,
let me feel the divine presence,
and help me, with your example, to follow his will.
Trusting in your protection,
I renew with much faith
my intention of gratitude and good will
and I confide in your support.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
