St Longinus pierced the side of Jesus with a lance as He hung on the cross. St Longinus who was nearly blind was healed when some of the blood and water from Jesus fell into his eyes.
Then he exclaimed ..."indeed, this was the Son of God" (Mark 15:39). St Longinus was converted took instructions from the apostles and became a monk. He was healed by Christs Precious Blood. Later he became a Saint.Â
O Jesus
In union with your most Precious Blood poured out on the cross and offered in every Mass, I
offer you today my prayers, works, joys , sorrows, and sufferings for the praise of your Holy Name and all the desires of your Sacred Heart; in reparation for sin, for the conversion of all sinners, the union of all Christians and our final union with You in Heaven.
