St Mary of the Cross MacKillop

Bless those who live in crowded suburbs, isolated towns,

in derelict housing or on the street, in boarding houses and brick veneer homes.

Bless those alone in crowds and overlooked in busy communities,

those who need the love of fierce compassion

and the intervention of practical aid to improve their lives.

Bless us as we respond to your prophetic maxim:

‘There where you are, you will find God’.

Let us find God and do good for all those Australians who struggle.

Let us continue your saintly work in our own lives.

Amen
