Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Please keep our dear daughter in your prayers as she takes her math finals this morning. We just got back from a long weekend. We went to visit our priest on Sunday a few hours away and as we were about to get on the highway, our van's fuel pump broke and we were stranded on the road for a while until Father came back to pick us up and a family he knows put us up for the night until the van was finally ready last evening. Adrianna missed her final review class and she does not feel ready. She made plans to go see a friend late last night to help her review the test, but my motherly instincts took over and I said no and and now things aren't going well here. We were all extremely tired and I wanted her to get a good night sleep. But ultimately that was her choice to make and I regret it now.

ETA!!! The cost to fix our van was half of our morgage money due now, but we had no choice but to pay for the van, so prayers for our finances would also be appreciated! Thank you all so much. You all mean the world to me!!!

I'm asking St. Joseph of Cupertino to help her do well.

Prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino for success in Examinations.

This powerful prayer is very effective in examinations. It has to be said before appearing in the examination. There are two variants to this prayer. Both the prayers are equally effective. You can choose any one of these:-

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 favour 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 (here mention the name of Examination eg. History paper I ) 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.

Thanks so much for your prayers. Adrianna did very well on her test.

Now we just need to figure out our finances.
