Prayer for the Beginning of School

Prayer During Exams

Notre Dame, Our Lady,
they call you the “Undoer of Knots.”
Turn your eyes to us during our exams,
and undo the knots in our minds,
that we may think creatively and compellingly in those critical moments.
Undo the knots in our bodies,
that we may channel stress
in good health and with noble composure.
Finally, undo the knots in our souls,
that in our study and success,
we may not become puffed up
with the wisdom of this world,
but come instead to know the Wisdom of God,
and the heart of your Son, Jesus,
who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Amen.

For Sofia Denise, that she may excel in her Exams.
