Through the example of St Mary of the Cross,

may you learn to recognise God's will for you

and trust in his providence.

Amen

May her life of service awaken in you 

a deep respect for the poor

and a strong will for justice.

Amen

May you share in her courage 

see with eyes of Christian love,

and learn from her holy deeds.

Amen
