Holy Cross Prayer

We pray you, O God, to take under your loving care 
the Holy Cross family: sisters, brothers, priests and associates and all who are working for the coming 
of your reign of justice and peace.

Grant us safety of body, peace of soul, 
and such success as you know to be best for us.

May we never grow weary in well doing, 
and when you call us to rest from our labors, 
be yourself our great reward for all eternity.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Christ, 
who is, who was, and who is to come.  Amen.
