Prayer for the Intercession of St Odilia
Merciful God,
I come to Thee to ask Thy aid
that my life may always give Thee praise.
I ask through the intercession
of St Odilia and all Thy holy Saints
to be a beacon of Thine Light to all I meet.
Give me holiness of soul and body
and bring me into Thine Divine Light.
May I obtain these favours,
as well as my special prayer,
St Odilia, pray for my eyes
and the eyes of my faith.
Through the merits
of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Thy Son, our Lord,
Who lives and regins with Thee
and the Holy Ghost,
One God forever and ever.
Amen
And another prayer to St Lucy
Indulgenced Prayer to St Lucy
(Indulgence of 300 Days, Once a Day)
Dear Saint Lucy,
whose name doth signify the light,
we come to thee filled with confidence,
do thou obtain for us a holy light
which shall make us careful
not to walk in the ways of sin,
nor to remain enshrouded in the darkness of error.
We ask also, through thy intercession,
for the preservation of the light of our bodily eyes
and for abundant grace,
to use the same according to the good pleasure of God,
without any hurt to our souls.
Grant, O Lucy that, after venerating thee
and giving thee thanks for thy powerful
protection here on earth,
we may come at length to share thy joy
in Paradise in the everlasting Light of the Lamb of God,
thy beloved Bridegroom, Jesus.
Amen
