PRAYER:

Oh Blessed Maria Helena, you who have embodied these beatitudes throughout your life, short but intense, intercede for us, walk by our side, in our present time, infusing us with these virtues and that, burning with the spirit of God, we invite all to the fullness of life in the One and Triune God. Amen.
