18th August - Saint Helen
We should throw ourselves into God as a little drop of water into the sea, and lose ourselves indeed, in the ocean of the divine goodness - Saint Jane Frances de Chantel.
Holy and blessed Saint Helen, with the anguish and devotion with which you sought the Cross of Christ, we plead that you give us God's grace to suffer in patience the labors of this life, so that through them and through your intercession and protection, we will be able to seek and carry the Cross, which God has placed upon us, so that we can serve Him in this life and enjoy His Glory ever after. Amen.
