Prayers to Saint Sebastian to ward off all evils and diseases

Born in Narbonne, around the year 250, the saint was head of the guard of Emperor Diocletian. Thanks to his position, he went on to convert soldiers and prisoners to the Christian faith. Displeased with the news, the monarch accused him of a traitor, condemning him to death. This was just the beginning of the path that gave rise to devotion and prayers to San Sebastian.

Tied to a tree, Sebastian of Narbonne was hit by countless arrows, but still survived. Upon healing, the saint accused the emperor of committing abuses against Christians. However, on January 20, he was arrested again and this time tortured to death.

A few years later, a terrible plague spread through Italy and the population, desperate, asked for the saint’s intercession. Thus, the situation disappeared and, since then, he started to be invoked against epidemics and wars, in addition to being considered the patron saint of prisoners. At this time of coronavirus, believers around the world have been begging for your help.

For this life of struggle, he is praised for overcoming every kind of crisis, illness and difficult phase. Cling to this mighty Catholic saint and ask for his protection!
