#StHelena #StHelenaOfConstantinople #MotherOfConstantineI
FEAST DAY: August 18
Days 1-3 Novena
PATRONESS OF: archaeologists, converts, difficult marriages, divorced people, empresses, new discoveries
St. Helena, you were born into a humble family, diligently worked as a “stable maid,” and were unaware of the great life awaiting you. While you had not yet come to know Christ, you embodied modesty and natural virtue.
These early years of your life, although lost to history, no doubt prepared you to excel in the Christian life and to maintain the virtue of humility throughout your life, despite the lofty status to which you would be raised.
Help me grow in humility and virtue so that I might not seek out glory in this world but desire only to submit myself to the will of God and allow Him to work through me as He wishes. Please pray for the special intention that I bring to you in this novena… (Mention your intentions here)
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
Jesus Christ, through Your cross You brought salvation to all people and it remains as a sign of Your profound love for each of us. Through Your servant Helena, the True Cross was revealed bringing about a renewed and widespread devotion to You; through her intercession, please bring about a renewal and conversion in my heart. Amen.
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.
Saint Helena, pray for us.
DAY 2
St. Helena, despite your humble parentage and perhaps because of the virtue you displayed, you caught the eye of a powerful ruler. You became his wife not knowing the difficulty you would face in your vocation. You made space for the Lord to bring out light from the darkness.
As I pursue holiness in my own vocation, I know that I will also face challenges and seasons of suffering. Teach me to cling to God in these moments and point me to God’s light when I feel myself stumbling in the dark.
Pray for all married couples, especially those facing major obstacles or on the brink of divorce and bring God’s healing to those who need it. Pray that the Church might be filled with strong couples and families so that they may witness the Lord’s goodness and love.
Pray also for my special intention… (Mention your intentions here)
DAY 3
St. Helena, you became a mother to Constantine who would one day become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Despite the challenges you faced in your marriage, you remained steadfast in your duties as a mother. Because of the love you gave your son throughout his life and the faithfulness in your role, you were honored with the title of “Augusta”—great, majestic, and venerable.
Please pray for all parents and their children that they might build strong relationships and together build up a culture of life and love in the world, particularly in the Church and within their communities. Please pray also for the intention that I now bring to you…
