Dear Catholicos, Yes, I had mainly you and MsGuided in mind  . I suggest that your prayer be the great Thebaid tradition: "O God come to my assistance; O Lord make haste to help me!" As St Theophan the Recluse said, this prayer has a special power to dispel all bad thoughts and feelings of despair. Use it as often as you do punctuation marks! Go knock 'em dead, Big Guy . . .er, good luck! Alex

Dear Kim,
You are welcome!
In marking your papers, may your professors be stricken with dumbfoundedness so that they only remember the first letter of the alphabet!!

Dear Catholicos,
Just talk like a Canadian with "A" at the end of each sentence . . .
And let the profs hear you - the power of auto-suggestion you know!
God bless,
Alex

Dear all,
Having just finished my last exam, I am now officially no longer an undergraduate. I'm now in that limbo period before I get my results - unless I pass, I don't get to become a graduate. I will still require prayers from all out there, but I'll pray for all those who require my prayers - a fair exchange, no?
Yours in Domino,
Edward

I pray that all those who are moving through their examinations and thesis defenses will receive the graces needed to succeed in their efforts.
As a young child, I was taught this (rather selfish?) prayer in the RC catechism class:
Dear St. Joseph of Cupertino, who while on earth obtained from God the grace of being asked in examinations only those questions to which he knew the answer. Obtain for me a similar favor in the examination I am about to take. In return, I promise to make your name known and venerated. Amen.
