St. Florian was a soldier and firefighter in the Roman Empire. A devout Christian, he refused to pay public tribute to the Roman gods and was martyred for his faith. Today he is the patron saint of firefighters, and the St. Florian cross is widely used in firefighter emblems.

Give special guidance to firemen and firefighters so that we may be protected from harm while performing our duty.
Help me with your loving care while I save the lives and property of all people young and old.
Give me the courage, the alertness to protect my neighbors and all others whom I am pledged to aid when involved in fire or accident.
Amen.
