PRAYER (1)

Say on first, fourth, and seventh days of a 9 day cycle, especially beginning on 6

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.

PRAYER (2)

Say on second, fifth, and eighth days of a 9 day cycle, especially beginning on 6
March and ending on 14 March, the eve of the Feast of St. Longinus.

O Saint Longinus, I venerate you and ask you stand by me as I offer my prayer to God,
that he will give me courage, for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats and against their seductions.

I need courage to bear unkindness, mockery, contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil, against terrors and troubles, temptations,
attractions, darkness and false lights, against tears, depression, and above all fear.
Novena to St. Longinus
St Longinus with your help and strength. I will receive the Grace of God. Console me
in God’s blessed Presence and grant me the courage to persevere until I am standing
with you before the throne of our Lord in heaven.

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

PRAYER (3)

Say on third, sixth, and ninth days of a 9 day cycle, especially beginning on 6 March
and ending on 14 March, the eve of the Feast of St. Longinus.

Good St Longinus, please help me obtain clemency for the sins I have committed in
falling prey to the demons roaming the earth. Blessed Saint, I seek your aid because
of the example of God’s mercy given you for your acts committed as a centurion at
Calvary .

Let the veil of delusion be lifted so that I may clearly see my enemies in their true
forms. No man may serve two lords which are contrary to the other. The idols of sin
are lords of malice; corruptors of all good works and enemies of chastity, humility
and bounty, and friends of all that is perverse, demeaning and destructive. Carry my
prayer to our Lord, Jesus Christ, who is the sobriety that brings us to everlasting life.

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

MEMORARE

Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left
unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do
I come, before thee I kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me.Amen.

OUR FATHER

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be


Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,
on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.


Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth,


and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come
Novena to St. Longinus
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
