Saint Joseph of Cupertino

I have grown up as a catholic and in the catholic tradition we acknowledge sainthood. The saint I wish to honour today is Saint Joseph of Cupertino, he is the saint of flight and for success in exams. As I no longer sit exams I think this is the best time to write this blog.

I was made aware of this saint by my sister, and all through university and through my accountancy professional qualification, as well as praying to our Lord, I always asked Saint Joseph of Cupertino to intercede for me, and pray for me during my exams. Having everyone around you looking for your success, surely could not be a bad thing, and it is with all my belief plus hard work (of course =) ) I can happily say NO MORE EXAMS!!!

Saint Joseph of Cupertino was a priest in the 17th century born in 1603 and died in 1663, and he was not the brightest of people, but with his prayer, he was asked at his examination the only thing that he knew. - Now I know what you are thinking....this does not seem like it is the best way to educate people.... in the time we live I honestly think they would have said he had a learning disability, rather than purely not bothering with revision. Therefore, it is with this I say, keep on studying hard and also praying.

The prayer to Saint Joseph of Cupertino for his intercession:

O Great Saint Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you know and cause you to be invoked.

Through Christ our Lord

Saint Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us.

Amen
