Holy and blessed St Helena, with the anguish and devotion with which you sought the Cross of Christ, I plead that you give me God’s grace to suffer in patience the labors of this life, so that through them and through your intercession and protection, I will be able to seek and carry the cross which God has placed upon me, so that I can serve Him in this life and enjoy His Glory ever after.
Amen.
O my God, my Savior and Glorifier, You were such a generous benefactor on the Holy Wood of the Cross, where you spilled Your Precious Blood for my salvation.
