This text examines Saint Longinus, the Roman centurion at the Crucifixion, as a potential case study for Spiritual Wounds and Injuries (SW&I) in modern veterans. It explores Longinus's possible interactions with Christ, his role in the Crucifixion including the spear thrust, and the impact of these events on his spiritual journey. The article analyzes how Longinus's reported subsequent struggles with doubt, shame, and guilt mirror the experiences of veterans dealing with trauma. Ultimately, it argues that understanding Longinus's story can provide insights into healing and supporting contemporary veterans suffering from SW&I.
