School Prayer
Father, you created me in your image and likeness. I have come from
you and I am ordained to you.
Watch over me. Inspire me to choose good and to avoid evil. Allow me
the sensitivity to see the needs of my neighbor and the strength to
respond gently.
Give me the courage to follow the truth, and the grace to know you my
Father, Amen.
Our School Prayer
Oh Lord!
Hear our prayer
Keep us in your loving care.
Guard us to live long day
In the work, in the play.
Keep us sweet, pure and true
And everything we can do
Father, we thank for the night
For the pleasent day light.
For rest, food and loving care
And that makes the day so fair
Help us to learn our lessons well
In the way students should
Knowing that the teachers must
Be strict for our own good
Make our work come fast
And take our restlessness away
Oh my God!
I love you
You love me
Bless me ready
Bless us
Bless me
make me a good child.
NATIPONAL PLEDGE
Written by
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
India is my country, all Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents, teachers and all elders respect and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.
In their well-being and prosperity alone lies my happiness.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Creator of all things,
true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.
Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things
correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent
of being exact in my explanations
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Sign Of The Cross
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in Heaven; hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not
into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amenss
Swami Vivekananda said, ‘The very essence of education is concentration of
mind, not the collecting of facts.’
Prayer Before Exams
Dear Jesus, today I will have my examinations. You know how important they are to me. So I am humbly asking Your gracious
help and divine assistance.
I pray to You, my dear Jesus, please never let me panic nor get nervous, just let me be at ease and give my very best.
Please never let me guess nor rely on pure luck, but enlighten my mind and let me think clearly.
Please never let me resort to chances nor to dishonesty, but let me work to the fullest of my ability.
I pray for Your guidance that as I think, I may find the right solutions, I may be able to correctly answer the questions, I may
solve those difficult problems.
I ask, O Lord, Your intercession, that as I write, I may not be careless nor overconfident, I may not be distracted but be more
concentrated, I may not be in a hurry nor take the exams too lightly.
Today, O my Jesus, I will take my examinations. Let me, with Your help, give my best effort. Let me, because of You, receive
the best and fruitful results.
Amen.
PRAYER BEFORE EXAM
BY: Gapuz
Dear God
Today I will take my examination
which is so important to me.
Though I am nervous, I am not afraid
Because I know that as I write my answers
It is YOUR hands that work.
And now, as I take this examination
Please enlighten my mind
to be able to answer correctly
And to recall everything that I have studied.
I will do my best in this exam and to you God
I will entrust my fate
I knoW that whatever will be the result,
it is according to YOUR will.
YOU have watched me
As I worked hard to study for this exam
Although I don't feel very confident
And I don't know if I am prepared
I truly believe that YOU would give me what I deserve.
I deserve to pass this exam, God.
I am happy that today YOU are with me
For with YOU I will win this battle
And as I close my eyes and feel YOUR presence
In this examination room
YOU put confidence to my heart.
AMEN.
A Prayer Before Exams
Student's Prayer
Inscrutable Creator, Lord Jesus Christ,
you are the source of light and truth,
enlighten my mind and dispel from me
the cloud of ignorance.
You give us, your children, the ability
to speak. Cultivate my tongue and
fill my mouth with the gifts of
your blessings.
Give me the ability to understand,
the capacity to receive,
the wisdom to interpret,
the ease to study and
to express myself gracefully.
Adorn my soul,
guide my work
and bless my life.
Amen.
Loving Father,
Source of all wisdom,
help me to use my time
and my intelligence wisely
as I prepare for my exams.
Help me to dispose myself
to listen to Your Holy Spirit,
so that You, as my Loving Father,
may place me in a state of prayer
and lead me to understand
that the supreme wisdom
is knowing I am Your child.
Help me to remain serene
so that my work may truly reflect
this profound truth.
Mary, Mother of my spiritual life,
guide me in the ways of your Son,
so that my work may help
to transform this world for His glory.
Amen.
