[caption id="attachment_277371" align="alignnone" width="1500"] Saint Helena with Holy Cross depicted in Meekness and Faith Window in the Chantry Chapel of Saint Thomas Church[/caption]


Most Merciful God, who didst vouchsafe to bless thy servant Helena with such grace and devotion to thee that she didst venerate the very footsteps of our Savior; Grant unto us the same grace that, aided by her prayers and example, we too may evermore behold thy glory in the cross of thy Son. Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
