Perhaps it would be nice if the students brought their own book or icon next week so that we could pray especially for exams and lectures. In our parish, we did this last year and people really felt supported.

The idea with a book or an icon sounds good. Last year at our church we had something similar for students before exams, a couple of them brought their textbooks and it was really obvious that they felt better after the prayer. Are we going to do it this week at our place?

Good idea with books or pictures. Last year in our parish my daughter brought her notebook for the lessons and after the prayer she felt calmer. Let's do it again this year on Sunday, August 23.
