| San Vincenzo di Saragozza, ora pro nobis |
January 22nd is the Feast of St. Vincent of Zaragoza, 3rd century Deacon and Protomartyr of Spain. He is the patron saint of Lisbon, Portugal; Valencia, Spain; and San Vincenzo La Costa in Cosenza, Calabria.
In celebration, we’re posting a prayer to St. Vincent of Zaragoza. The accompanying photo comes courtesy of Father Eugene Carrella. The holy card is part of Father Carrella’s impressive collection of religious artifacts. Evviva San Vincenzo di Saragozza!
Prayer to St. Vincent of Zaragoza
Almighty God, whose deacon Vincent, upheld by thee, was not Terrified by threats nor overcome by torments: Strengthen us, we beseech thee, to endure all adversity with invincible and steadfast faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
