>Roman soldier pierces the side of Christ
>Blood and water flow from the wound
>Heals his bad eyesight
>โTruly this man was the Son of Godโ
>Abandons his old life
>Preaches Christ in Cappadocia
>Refuses to worship pagan idols
>They cut out his tongue
>Breaks idols and yells clearly "Now we will see if they are gods or not"
>Is persecuted and tortured for the Faith
>Chooses martyrdom rather than deny Christ
>The soldier who raised a spear against Christ dies as His soldier
Saint Longinus, pray for us.
