Our Lady Queen of Palestine, Patroness of the Order
Feast Day is the Last Sunday in October
Our Lady, Queen of Palestine, Pray for us and all the peoples of the Lands made sacred by your Son's Life, Death, and Resurrection. Amen.
Devotion to Our Lady
Filial devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary should be a special characteristic of every member of the Order. As the faith of Mary, Mother of Jesus, illuminated the path which each member of the Order takes. Mary, the model of faith which is put into practice, is the woman who was docile to the voice of the Spirit, a woman of silence and hope. As the highly favored daughter of the Father, she is the perfect model of love towards both God and neighbor. |

St. Helena
Feast Day is August 18th
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 labours 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. |
