週年聖頌集:帡幪月十六日
神聖的殉道者、百夫長朗吉諾
The holy Martyr Longinus was a Centurion in the service of Pontius Pilate at the time of Christ our Saviour’s Passion. While standing guard at the Cross and beholding the earthquake and all that came to pass, he cried out with fear, “Truly this was the Son of God” (Matt. 27:54). After the Resurrection, he forsook the military and departed for Cappadocia, his homeland, where he preached Christ. By the agency of Pontius Pilate, Tiberius Caesar had him arrested and beheaded..
救主基督受難時,神聖的殉道者朗吉諾是般雀比拉多手下的百夫長。他在十字架前站崗,目睹了地震和所發生的一切,他恐懼地高呼:「這人真是天主子。」(瑪27:54)。基督復活後,他離開了軍隊,前往家鄉卡帕多西亞,在那裡宣講基督。在般雀比拉多的唆使下,凱撒提庇留將他逮捕並斬首。
遣散頌 第四調式
求祢快速
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee * received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God.* For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants * and wholly destroyed the demons’ strengthless presumption. * O Christ God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
主啊,祢的殉道者,在他為祢勇敢的競爭中,從祢,我們不朽的天主那裡領受了不朽與生命的冠冕的獎償。因為他擁有祢的力量,打倒了暴君,完全毀滅了魔鬼無力的妄想。天主基督,因他的祈禱,求祢拯救我們的靈魂,因為祢是仁慈的。
