| San Sabino Vescovo, ora pro nobis |
February 9th is the Feast of San Sabino, Papal Legate, Bishop of Abellinum (Avellino), Bishop of Canosa, and patron of Atripalda. In celebration, I'm posting a Prayer to San Sabino. The accompanying photo of the statue was taken at Saint Lucy's Church, National Shrine of Saint Gerard in Newark, New Jersey. Evviva San Sabino!
Prayer to Saint Sabino
Lean down from Heaven our great protector St. Sabino, who from amongst all cities chose Atripalda as your last abode and final resting place. Here your holy bones still exude precious manna that assures us of your presence with us for all time. You have given your people copious graces and all who invoke your powerful name. We beg you, keep far from us all the divine punishments, render our fields fertile, keep the contagion of disease far from us, save us from earthquake and protect us from every evil, especially the evil of sin. Abundantly rain down your blessings upon us and our brothers who are far from us in America. Amen.
