Novena to Saint Jude Thaddeus
PRAYER TO PASS THE EXAMS
To be said when problems arise or when one seems to be
deprived of all visible help, or for cases almost despaired
of.
Prayer to Saint Jude Thaddeus
Most holy apostle Saint Jude, faithful servant
and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and
invokes you universally, as the patron of
hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of.
Please pray for me for I am so hopeless and
alone. Make use, I implore you, of that
particular privilege given to you to bring visible
and speedy help where help is almost
despaired of. Come to my assistance in this
great need that I may receive the consolation
of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations
and sufferings, particularly *mention your
petition here* and that I may praise God with
you and all the elect forever. I promise, O
Blessed Saint Jude, to be ever mindful of this
great favor, to always honor you as my special
and powerful patron, and to gratefully
encourage devotion to you. Amen.

O great St. Joseph of Cupertino who by your
prayers did obtain from God the Grace to be asked
in your examinations the only answer you knew,

Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas
Creator of all things,
true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.
Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things
correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent
of being exact in my explanations
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
