Obtain for me from the Lord that, as a true source of light and wisdom, you may dispel the two kinds of darkness from my understanding, sin and ignorance, instructing my tongue and diffusing on my lips the grace of his blessing. Grant me acuity in understanding, capacity for retention, method and ability to learn, subtlety in interpretation, and at the moment of examination, grace and abundance in speaking, accuracy in beginning, direction in progress, and perfection in finishing, if this is fitting for the greater glory of God and the benefit of my soul. Amen. 2️⃣ DAY TWO Maxim: "He who has hope in every place does not do little." Ejaculation: Saint Joseph of Cupertino, mirror of hope, pray for me.
