Our Morning Offering – 13 December – The Feast of St Lucy, Virgin Martyr, Patron Against Eye Diseases and Blindness
Prayer to St Lucy
[Prayer to St Lucy
for the Protection of our Eys
and the Eys of our Faith]
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.
St Lucy, “Bringer of Light”
Pray for those with eye ailments,
Pray for us all!
