A Prayer seeking the intercession of St. Joseph of Cupertino for Success in Examinations

The power of this prayer has been attested by many.


This prayer is not meant to replace a good review or a thorough preparation;
among the positive effects of praying is its synergistic influence on good thoughts and actions;
as the adage goes: God helps those who help themselves.


Below are two variants of this prayer.



First 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 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. St. Joseph of Cupertino, pray for us. Amen.

Second 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 like you succeed in the (mention the specific exam here) examination.
In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.
O St. Joseph of Cupertino, pray for me.
O Holy Ghost, enlighten me.
Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for me.
Sacred Head of Jesus, Seat of divine wisdom, enlighten me. Amen.

Please don't forget to thank St. Joseph of Cupertino after your exams.


Feast Day: September 18
