St, Lucy |
PRAYER
IN HONOR OF ST. LUCY,
Patron of Good Eyesight
O God, our Creator and Redeemer,
mercifully hear our prayers, and as we venerate your servant, St. Lucy, for the
light of faith you bestowed upon her, increase and preserve this same light also
in our souls, that we may be able to avoid even, to do good, and abhor nothing
so much as the blindness and the darkness of evil and of sin.
Relying on your goodness,
o God, we humbly ask you by intercession of your servant’s, Lucy, to give
perfect vision onto our eyes, that they may serve for your greater honor and
glory, for our salvation and that of others, and that we may come to the
enjoyment of the unfailing light of the Lamb of God in paradise.
St. Lucy, virgin and
martyr, hear our prayers and obtain our petitions.

purity, please win for men and all devoted to you, perfect purity of body,
mind, and hearts. I promise by my example and counsel to help others to the
