- O Sacrament Most Holy
- Angel of God
Lord, as I prepare to sit my exams, send Your Holy Spirit to guide me and be with me.
Thank you for the many talents and gifts you have given me and for the opportunity of education.
Keep me calm.
Help me to do the best I can on the day of my exam. Help me to remember all that I have studied, to express it clearly and to answer the questions as best that I can. Give me peace, understanding and wisdom.
Be with me today and always. Amen
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and long for You in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come into my heart.
As though you have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to you;
never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen
Every day I need you Lord, but this day especially I need some extra strength to face whatever us to come.
This day more than any other day I need to feel you near me, to fortify my courage and overcome my fear.
By myself, I cannot meet the challenge of the hour.
How much frail human creatures need Higher Power sustaining them in all that life may bring. And so, Lord, hold my trembling hand.
Be with me Lord this day, to know your guiding hand at work in all, to know your Blessed Presence ever near.
O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament divine,
All praise and all thanksgiving
Be every moment Thine.
Angel of God, my guardian dear,
to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side,
to light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
