According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who, on the feast of any Saint, recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst reveal to
blessed Helen the place where Thy
Cross was hidden, so that through her
Thou wouldst enrich Thy Church with this
precious treasure: grant us by her
intercession that at the price of this
vital wood we may obtain the rewards
of eternal life:
Who liveth and reigneth
with God the Father in the unity of the
Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever.
R. Amen.
Nota bene ~ St Helen is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but only in certain places. But according to the Martyrology, today is her Feast Day. The Collect is taken from the Missae pro Aliquibus Locis Supplement to the Missal.
