Saint Helen of the Cross

Date:
August 18

Activities:
Painted wooden crosses to honor the True Cross and Saint Helen's discovery!

Information:
Saint Helen was the mother of Constantine and wanted to find the True Cross of Jesus from the Holy Land. She went on a mission and found the True Cross, which had been preserved for a few hundred years!

Prayer:
Holy and blessed Saint 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.
