Prayer to God in Her Honor
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 evil, 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, St. Lucy, to give perfect vision to 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 prayer and obtain our petitions. Amen.
Prayer to Her for Assistance
Dear Sicilian Virgin and Martyr, whom the Church recalls in Eucharistic Prayer I, you valiantly rejected great promises and resisted several threats in remaining faithful to your beloved Lord. For centuries Christians have invoked you particularly when suffering from eye trouble. So now we implore your assistance on behalf of N. We also ask you to teach us to imitate you and to avoid spiritual blindness of any kind. Amen.
Lord, may the intercession of Your virgin and martyr St. Lucy help us so that, as we celebrate her heavenly birthday on earth, we may contemplate her triumph in heaven . Amen.
St. Lucy, your
beautiful name signifies light. By the light of faith which God
bestowed upon you, increase and preserve this light in my soul so
that I may avoid evil, be zealous in the performance of good
works, and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and the
darkness of evil and of sin.
By your intercession with God, obtain for me perfect vision for
my bodily eyes and the grace to use them for God's greater honor
and glory and the salvation of all men.
St. Lucy, virgin and martyr, hear my prayers and obtain my
petitions. Amen.
feast day: December 13
