Novena to St. Longinus

San Longino, ora pro nobis
Pray Novena to St. Longinus for nine consecutive days, March 6th to March 14th, in preparation for the Feast on March 15th. Evviva San Longino!
O Saint Longinus, you were chosen as the venerable gate keeper and was granted the gift of discernment by the Lord. An eyewitness of God's miracle who glorified the resurrected Christ. To your death, you remained Christ's soldier and for Christ you gave your head.

Pray for us, therefore, O St. Longinus so that being inspired by your example and assisted by your prayers, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and reach eternal life to praise and thank God in heaven with you.

I ask you to pray to God this special request if it be His holy will.

(Mention your requests)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

Almighty, Eternal God, You were pleased to make Your Church illustrious through the varied splendor of St. Longinus. As we venerate his memory, may we also follow such shining examples of virtue on earth and thus obtain merited crowns in Heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Longinus Patron Saint of the blind and people with poor eyesight, Pray for us.
St. Longinus Patron Saint of Labor and Power, Pray for us.
St. Longinus Patron Saint of Good Discernment, Pray for Us.
