Prayer to St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara for students during exams
Oh God, the fountain of all knowledge, I submit myself completely to your will. Enlighten my intellect, increase my memory and grant me the grace to concentrate in my studies, so that I may glorify You and be a living testimony of Christ. Remove all hindrances, disappointments and fear from my mind and give me the grace to trust You in all circumstances. Bless me to study with confidence and courage and to submit all my talents for the growth of Your Kingdom. Protect and preserve me, my school/college, my teachers, my classmates, my parents, and my siblings.
Oh St. Kuriakose, you knew the importance of education and the role it played in building the Kingdom of God. At a time when education was not popular and people were illiterate, you did your best to educate the public. You were a great teacher filled with wisdom and prudence. St. Kuriakose, intercede for me that I may shine in my studies and be the light that Jesus wants me to be! Amen
