Defendant) _______________________ (Address) PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH OF CUPERTINO O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino, who when on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked in the examinations only questions you knew. Obtain for me the same favor in this examinations which I am now preparing for. In return I promise to make you known and cause to be invoked through Christ, our Lord. Amen

THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED!!!
