At I Vespers · Antiphon Common

The kingdom of heaven * is likened unto a merchantman seeking goodly pearls; who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Versicle at I Vespers Common

℣.In thy grace and in thy beauty.

℟.Go forth, ride prosperously, and reign.

At Lauds · Antiphon Common

Give her * of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Versicle at Lauds Common

℣.Full of grace are thy lips.

℟.Because God hath blessed thee for ever.

Collect

O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst reveal to blessed Helena the place where thy Cross lay hidden, that through her thy Church might be enriched with the precious treasure: grant us, at her intercession, that by the ransom of that life-giving wood, we may obtain the reward of everlasting life. Who with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit livest and reignest God, world without end.

℟.Amen.
