Prayers for Bar Examinees
This Tuesday and Wednesday (and Thursday in a few jurisdictions), gaggles of stressed law school graduates will be attempting to hurdle the bar exam of states across the country. Please offer prayers for them today (as the anxiety before the test sometimes seems worse than the test itself!), especially through the intercession of St. Thomas More and St. Joseph Cupertino (patron saint of test takers, because he was asked the only question he knew the answer to in his examination for the priesthood), and for the Children of the Sacred Heart out there, we implore the intercession of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne and St. Madeline Sophie Barat!
The country may not need more lawyers, but a few more good ones are worth the prayers. I have three friends taking the bar in three different states and I wish them each a smooth, successful examination!
Courage and Confidence!
Incidentally, the term “bar” exam refers to the bar or railing separating the area around the judge in a courtroom. See here (near the bottom of the page).
