Exams
We remember in our prayers all those doing Exams this month,
Here is one Prayer before Exams:
Oh great St. Joseph of Cupertino, who by thy prayers obtained from God
to be asked at your examination the only question which you knew,
pray that I, like you may succeed in the examination which lies before me.
In return I promise to make you known, and cause you to be loved. Amen.
The Ascension
Jesus Christ
Lord glorified on high
look with love upon
your brothers and sisters on earth.
Your ascension is the hope
of our future glory,
and your presence near your Father
announces our own entrance
into the eternal dwelling.
We pray to you:
Let the desire for heavenly realities
not make us neglect our work on earth.
Let our hope for the future
inspire in us a respect for the present moment.
Let your ascension into heaven move us
to make your glory dwell on earth.
Thus we will be witnesses to your presence
among our brothers and sisters
until the end of time.
(Lucien Deiss )
