About Saint Lucy
Lucy is an early fourth-century virgin martyr of Syracuse whose name appears in the Roman Canon. Historical details are sparse, while later narratives added dramatic episodes about her eyes and execution. Her name, related to light, and her feast during the darkest season made her a beloved patron of people with visual impairments and a sign of Christ’s light.
Prayer
Pray with Saint Lucy
God of light, through Saint Lucy’s intercession, bless people who are blind or visually impaired and all who care for their eyes. Give persecuted young Christians courage, and keep the light of Christ alive in darkness. Amen.
