O St Lucy, you preferred to let
your eyes be torn out instead of denying the faith and defiling your soul; and
God, through an extraordinary miracle, replaced them with another pair of sound
and perfect eyes to reward your virtue and faith, appointing you as the
protector against eye diseases. I come to you for you to protect my eyesight
and to heal the illness in my eyes.
O St Lucy, preserve the light
of my eyes so that I may see the beauties of creation, the glow of the sun, the
colour of the flowers and the smile of children.
Preserve also the eyes of my
soul, the faith, through which I can know my God, understand His teachings,
recognise His love for me and never miss the road that leads me to where you,
St Lucy, can be found in the company of the angels and saints.
St Lucy, protect my eyes and
preserve my faith. Amen.
(Say: 3 “Our Father”, 3 “Hail
Mary”, 3 “Glory be”.)
O! Glorious St Lucy, Virgin and
Martyr, you greatly glorified the Lord by preferring to sacrifice your life
rather than be unfaithful. Come to our aid and, through the love of this same
most loveable Lord, save us from all infirmities of the eyes and the danger of
losing them.
Through your powerful
intercession, may we spend our life in the peace of the Lord and be able to see
Him with our transfigured eyes in the eternal splendour of the Celestial
Homeland. Amen.
St Lucy, pray for us and for
the most needy, to Christ our Lord. Amen.
