A Student’s Prayer
O Holy Spirit, help me to study well and pass my examination.
Be my strength, grant me understanding, give me your gift of wisdom.
When I was confirmed, I received these gifts of fortitude, understanding and wisdom.
I now ask you to make them ever more active in my life
so that my mind attains the clarity I need so badly these days.
Spirit of understanding and enlightenment, teach me.
Amen.
Fr Donal’s Ten Second Sermon: An ounce of effort, remember, is worth a ton of good intentions.
