Answered Prayers From This Novena

I had done very poorly in one subject which was difficult for everyone in my final year uni and was very sure that I wouldn’t pass.

I prayed to God and did this novena in hopes of passing. When the results had come I PASSED in every subject.

I’m really grateful and cannot stop thanking God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and of course St Joseph of Cupertino for helping me pass.

from T.G.

Apology for the delayed report, but after passing my civil service examination last August 7, 2023 using this novena along with my efforts on studying.

I am very grateful because it greatly help me to be more confident with my answers in every questions of the exam. I know that the Lord guided me from the day I got my online slot, personal filing, my everyday studying, until the exam day.

I pray that all of the exam takers will pass in the name of Our Lord. Amen.

Thank you very much. And God bless.

from J.M.

I learnt about St. Joseph of Cupertino last year while browsing for saint of exams. I prayed to God through him and I passed.

This year, I had an exam, which was more competitive and scored.

During the last days of my revisions, I had strong urge to revise certain areas more than others and I was surprised while writing the exams.The results are out and I had more than I requested.

May all glory be to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you St. Joseph of Cupertino.

from C.A.

Special thanks to St Joseph Cupertino for answered prayers as my son passed his Step 3 medical exam. You are always there for him.

from R.B.

My prayers have not been answered after I did the novena twice and prayed to St. Joseph of Cupertino to pass my exam.

I’m devastated. I did believe I could get help from the prayers. So disappointed on this prayer.

from M.J.

Response from Devin Rose: Dear M.J., sometimes the answer to our prayers is “No.” That is very hard to accept but God wills all things for our good.

I passed my exam!

I prayed a lot before, during, and after the exam. I also prayed to lots of saints and went to different churches. Studying so hard is emotionally draining.

After doing what I can, I know the right thing to do is to offer everything to God. Good efforts and lots of prayers really do payoff.

Thank you so much, St. Joseph Cupertino

Thank you St. Joseph of Cupertino!!!!

from K.M.

The nine days leading up to my standardized test day I prayed this novena. I sat there at the Prometric testing center very anxious and stressed about the exam, as standardized tests are not my strong suit.

Clicking through each question only made me more nervous. Finally, reaching the end and receiving my score I ended up achieved a very competitive grade!

Of course, this achievement would not have been possible without the intersession of St. Joseph of Cupertino.

Thank you St. Joseph of Cupertino and thank you Lord for Your guidance!

from N.K.

My daughter passed her first semester exam. Her scores were wonderful.

Thank you very much, Saint Joseph of Cupertino!

This prayer really works. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m thankful to God and st Joseph.

from I.D.

I sent the St Cupertino novena prayer to my son for his repeat exam. If he didn’t pass the test, he’d be put out of the University.

He said the prayer, and St Cupertino obtained the grace from Jesus who answered him.

He will say the novena prayer so he can graduate. Powerful prayer! Believe, ask, and he will not fail you.

I learned about Saint Joseph of Cupertino from a friend and since Year One of my schooling, he has been interceding for me.

I have been passing my exams without issues.

I want to thank God and Saint Joseph of Cupertino for his intercession.

I took a school of nursing entrance exam, and I failed.

I was disappointed until my elder brother introduced me to St Joseph of Cupertino, and I started praying for his intercession.

I later took the exam again, and I failed it again, but I didn’t give up.

I purchased another form and sat for the exam again while reading my books and also doing the novena to St Joseph of Cupertino.

After the exam the results came out and I passed and was admitted!

I believe that God really answers prayers through His saints.

from S.C.

I had started praying this Novena because i was not doing well in two of my courses, and we had a test on Monday.

I passed with good grades for the first exame and am confident in God that I will come out wth good grades in the other, thanks to St Joseph of Cupertino’s intercession!

from G.C.

Before we sat for exams, I was sick but was praying the novena to St Joseph Cupertino.

All my papers and work seemed to be difficult for me.

The instructor told our class that our results will be delayed, so we had to go one-by-one to see our results at his office.

I entered his office, and he laughed at me because I looked scared. I gave him my name and my registration number.

Within five minutes he told me, Congratulations! I received top marks on my exam, all thanks to God through St Joseph Cupertino.

from J.A.

I prayed this Novena nine days before my exam. I entered the testing center calm, cool, and collected.

Noticeably more calm than the other two exams I had taken already. Then when I sat for my exam, I felt like some of the questions were trick questions because they were just TOO easy.

After the exam, I thought perhaps that St Joseph of Cupertino actually interceded for me. Turns out, he did and that they weren’t trick questions at all and I received my highest score yet on the exam, such that I was labeled The Beast by all candidates taking these exams (CPA exams)!

So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to St Joseph of Cupertino and God for helping me pass this exam. I am SO THANKFUL and GRATEFUL.

Thank you St Joseph Cupertino for making me pass my clinical exam.

Please pray for me so that I may study well and pass my future exams as well.

Praise the Lord.

My daughter, who is a very poor test-taker, took her exam to be a licensed Social Worker and passed on the first try! We are sure St Joseph Cupertino intervened.

Thank you St Joseph of Cupertino for answered prayers.

My daughter was taking a test for a college in a high school class which would impact if she graduated with a 4.0 or not, she had to get an A on the exam to maintain her grade point average which would determine rank in class, scholarship money and other accolades.

Upon praying to St. Joseph of Cupertino she earned an A on the exam and exceeded the score she needed in a course that she had been struggling in all semester.

I prayed to St. Joseph of Cupertino for nine days for my daughter’s Physician Licensure Examination, and she was able to pass it!

Thank you St. Joseph of Cupertino for the answered prayer.

I took a big exam for confinement attendant, but twice I failed it.

I learned about St Joseph of Cupertino and prayed to him through this novena.

When I faced the exam for the third and final time, I had no confidence that I could pass it on my own.

But with St. Joseph’s intercession and companionionship, I finally passed the exam!

We thank you for the answered prayers of my son’s successful board examination. He was able to pass this difficult exam.

As promised I want to continue spreading the testimonies on the power of prayer through St Joseph Of Cupertino.

I prayed so hard to St. Joseph Cupertino for my granddaughter to pass her exam so that she could go to nursing school.

She failed her first try and was so upset. She was discouraged that she could ever pass it.

But she just took the nursing exam again today and PASSED!

She is so happy, and I hope and pray that St Joseph Cupertino will continue to help her in her studies and she will do well in her career.
