St. Ubald,
Please help me to overcome the pain of my chronic migraines. Please watch over me and give me the strength I need to make it through this year at school. I'm missing too much school and I'm very stressed about how that will affect my grades. Please, if it is your will, comfort me so that I may fully focus on our Lord and stop stressing about the pain and school. Thank you.

Amen.
