Exams

We wish God's Blessings on all who are starting their Junior & Leaving Cert. this week. May the Spirit guide and inspire you all.

Prayer for those doing Exams

Lord,

Pour out your Spirit of wisdom on these students: help them to remain calm, to attend carefully to the questions asked, to think clearly, to remember accurately, and to express themselves well.

Grant that they may reflect the best of the work they have done, and the best of the teaching they have received.

Accept their best efforts in these examinations and in the great test of life on earth.

May your love be upon them O Lord as they place all their trust in you.

Amen.
