San Sabino Martire, ora pro nobis
|
September 18th is the Feast of San Sabino, Martyr and co-patron (with the Madonna della Neve) of Sanza in Provincia di Salerno. A convert to Christianity, San Sabino was arrested, tortured then drowned for his faith in the Roman Province of Egypt in 303 during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. In celebration, we're posting a Prayer to San Sabino Martire. The accompanying photo was taken at Saint Francis of Paola Church (219 Conselyea Street) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Evviva San Sabino!
Prayer to San Sabino Martire
Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that the examples of San Sabino Martire may effectually move us to reform our lives; that while we celebrate his festival, we may also imitate his actions. Look upon our weakness, almighty God, and since the burden of our own deeds weighs heavily upon us, may the glorious intercession of San Sabino protect us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
