December 13 – St. Lucy of Syracuse (Św. Łucja)
Wysłuchaj nas Boże Zbawicielu nasz, abyśmy ciesząc się z uroczystości błogosławionej Łucji, panny i męczenniczki Twojej, uczuć gorliwej pobożności nabywali. Przez Chrystusa Pana naszego. Amen.
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 so much as the blindness and the darkness of evil and of sin.
By your intercession with God, obtain for me perfect vision for my bodily eyes and the grace to use them for God’s greater honor and glory and the salvation of all men.
Saint Lucy, virgin and martyr, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. Amen.
