Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas before study:

Ineffable Creator, Who out of the treasures of Thy wisdom has appointed three hierarchies of Angels and set them in admirable order high above the heavens and hast disposed the divers portions of the universe in such marvelous array, Thou Who art called the True Source of Light and super eminent Principle of Wisdom, be pleased to cast a beam of Thy radiance upon the darkness of my mind and dispel from me the double darkness of sin and ignorance in which I have been born. Thou who makes eloquent the tongues of little children, fashion my words and pour upon my lips the grace of Thy benediction. Grant me penetration to understand, capacity to retain, method and facility in study, subtlety in interpretation and abundant grace of expression. Order the beginning, direct the progress and perfect the achievement of my work, Thou Who art true God and true Man and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Good luck! Y'all are in my prayers

[DominicanHeart]

Thank you!!!!

[HopefulHeart]

Thank you! I'll definitely use this for tonight's final.

[Luigi]

Are everybody's finals over? Did everybody pass? 

If you think you might not have passed, here's a little encouragement from Bishop Fulton J. Sheen: 

[HopefulHeart]

My finals ended yesterday, and I am so relieved!  I am confident that I passed all of them, but I won't know my final grades for a week or more.

[NadaTeTurbe]

My finals are in january  

[Charbel]

I know I passed one exam, but still waiting for 2 more to be graded. I know one of those 2 is in the bag though. I'm not so sure about my mathematics exam.

Hang in there Nada! I'll say an extra prayer for your preparation and for you to do well

@Luigi Love Fulton J. Sheen!

[HopefulHeart]

All of my grades are in, and I am SO happy with them. The Lord and His saints never cease to amaze me. Special shout-out to St. Joseph and St. Joseph of Cupertino.

[Julie]

Venerated St. Thomas' relic before every final.

Prayed the prayer to the Holy Spirit with my classmates (and professor!) before each final.

Wrote a customized litany, involving many of these saints (especially St. Albert- there was a lot of math!) for each exam on the board in the exam room.

-----> straight A's!

our friends the saints really helped me out, yet again!

Thanks be to God!
