My memories have faded with time, becoming dreams that are now just shadowy phantasms of what might and could have been. So I write.

Prayer to Saint Thomas More - Patron Saint of Lawyers

Prayer to St. Thomas More - Patron Saint of wannabe Lawyers

 

Thomas More, counselor of law and statesman of integrity, merry martyr and most human of saints:

I pray that, for the glory of God and in the pursuit of His justice, if you help me pass the bar I will be trustworthy with confidences, keen in study, accurate in analysis, correct in conclusion, able in argument, loyal to clients, honest with all, courteous to adversaries, ever attentive to conscience. Sit with me at my desk and stacks of bar review materials and listen with me to my imaginary clients' tales. Read with me in my room library and stand always beside me so that I shall not fail the bar lose my soul.

Pray that my family may find in me what yours found in you: friendship and courage, cheerfulness and charity, diligence in duties, counsel in adversity, patience in pain—their good servant, and God's first.

Amen.
