Tarjeta Saint Helena of the Cross Prayer Card

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. Pour upon my soul, at the hour of my death, but a drop of Your Blood so that I die in Your grace and then, assisted by the intercession of my protector and advocate Saint Helena, grant to me what I now ask You for in this prayer (mention your request here), if it be expedient for Your honor and glory and for the benefit of my soul. Amen. Saint Helena, who upon opening your mind and heart to the light of the Gospel and upon finding the wood of the true Cross was converted into the model of all the Christian virtues, help us to break the attachments of sin, and to return to the arms of God our Father. You found the treasure that the Gospel tells us about, since you found the Cross of Christ. May we also find that treasure, Christ living within us. Amen.
