Today, our college students begin their Preliminary Examinations. As a Catholic academic community, we commend them to the loving care of God and invoke the guidance of the Holy Spirit upon each one of them.

May the Holy Spirit, the source of wisdom and understanding, enlighten their minds, strengthen their memories, calm their anxieties, and grant them the grace to face every examination with confidence, honesty, and perseverance.

May these examinations not only measure what they have learned but also inspire them to continue growing in knowledge, wisdom, and virtue, always seeking the truth in the light of Christ.

As one Michaelinian family, let us keep our students in our prayers, asking the Lord to bless their efforts and reward their diligence.
