Lord Jesus Christ, you opened the heart of Longinus the Centurion with the light of faith as Your precious blood flowed on the Cross
Through his intercession, grant us also to behold Your wounds with faith, to confess You as the Son of the living God, and to bear witness to Your love with courage
Teach us, O Lord, to carry our crosses with hope, and to live as witnesses of mercy and truth, as Longinus did transformed from a soldier of death into a messenger of eternal life
Saint Longinus, intercede for us, that our hearts may remain steadfast in faith, our hands may sow peace, and our lives proclaim the victory of the Risen Christ
