Saint Lucy, your beautiful name signifies light.
By the light of faith which God bestowed upon you,
increase and preserve this light in my soul
so that I may avoid evil,
be zealous in the performance of good works,
and abhor nothing as much as the blindness
and darkness of evil and sin.
By your intercession with God,
obtain for me perfect vision for my bodily eyes
and the grace to use them for God’s great honor
and glory and the salvation of all men.
Saint Lucy, virgin and martyr,
hear my prayers and obtain my petitions.
Amen.
