St. Longinus

October 16

In Jerusalem, the commemoration of Saint Longinus, who is venerated as the soldier who with a lance opened the side of the Lord when he was affixed to the cross.

***

May Holy Mary and all the saints intercede to the Lord for us, that we may merit to be helped and saved by him who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

V. Precious in the sight of the Lord

R. Is the death of his holy ones.

V. May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.  And may the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in pace.

R. Amen
