ST. LUCY AND ST. ANTHONY


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.



St Anthony

      PRAYER TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA, Patron Saint of Lost Things


Glorious St. Anthony, I salute you as a good servant of Christ and a special friend of God. You once were favored to hold the Christ child in your arms as you cherished his word in your heart.

Today I place all my cares, temptations, and anxieties in your hands. I resolve ever to honor you by imitating your example.

Powerful patron, model of 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 knowledge love and service of God. Amen.
