Prayer

O God, source of all goodness, 

Who has shown us in Saint Mary of the Cross,  a woman of faith living by the power of the Cross. Teach us to recognise God’s will and trust in His providence.

May her life of service awaken in us a deep respect for the poor and a strong will for justice. 

Through her courage that we will see with the eyes of Christian love and learn from her holy deeds.

We pray that by the example of this saint to live the Gospel in changing times and to respect and defend the human dignity of all in our land.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

St Norbert, pray for us.
