As the school year begins I came across a saint I had never heard of named St. Joseph of Cupertino.  I never knew there was in fact a saint you could pray to and ask for his intersession when taking exams.  Here is the prayer that students will find helpful.

O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino, who while on earth
Did obtain from God the grace to be asked
At your examinations only the questions you knew,
Obtain for me a like favor in the examination for
Which I am now preparing.

In return, I promise to make you known and
Cause you to be invoked through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

I astonish myself by failing to see so many posts, but it does reward me when I go back to review what I found and whatever I might have missed.  Perhaps you noticed that St Joseph is also patron of pilots and air travelers, I presume because some 70 acts of his levitations were widely witnessed.  According to Delaney, even Pope Urban VII spoke favorably of him, although he was moved and isolated several times and investigated by the Inquisition.
I hope you are happy and successful at school and blessed by his prayer.
