For Students doing Examinations

Come Holy Spirit, Divine Creator True source of Light and fountain of wisdom. Dispel any anxiety or worry that surrounds them during exams. Give to them, A mind that understands, method and ease in learning and good expressions in their answers. Guide their work each day, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. Amen.

Let us pray for all students undergoing examinations: Lord, pour out your Spirit of Wisdom on these students: help them to remain calm, to attend carefully to the questions asked, to think clearly, to remember accurately, and to express themselves well. Grant that they may reflect the best of the work they have done and the best of the teaching they have received. Accept their best efforts in these examinations and in the great test of life on earth. May your love be upon them, O Lord, as they place all their trust in you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
