Holy Cross Catholic School commits to each student’s learning and growth, blending innovation and compassion to guide students to become dedicated followers of Christ.
Help Me Simplify, Lord.
Help me simplify my life, Lord.
Help me give away, give up, clean up, cast off,
do without and strip away the many things I do not need.
Help me empty my heart of things that cannot offer what my heart was meant to hold.
Make generous, Lord, in sharing and giving away the things I have in plenty,
for which others so greatly need.
Help me see the needs of those whose paths cross mine and
open my heart to be ready to give freely without counting the cost.
Amen.
