O God,
our Creator and redeemer, mercifully hear our prayers that as we
venerate
Thy servant, Saint Lucy, for the light of faith thou didst
bestow
upon her, Thou wouldst vouchsafe to increase and to preserve this same
light in our souls, that we may be able to avoid evil, to do good and
to
abhor nothing so much as the Blindness and the darkness of evil
and of sin.
Relying
on Thy goodness, O God, we humbly ask Thee, by the intersession of Thy
servant, Saint Lucy that Thou wouldst give perfect
vision
to our eyes, that they may serve for Thy greater honor and glory,
and
for the salvation of our souls in this world, that we may come
to
the enjoyment of the unfailing light of the Lamb of God in paradise.
Saint
Lucy, Virgin and marytr, hear our prayers and obtain our
petitions. |
