This prayer is to be said for 9 consecutive days
O SAINT LUCY, you preferred to let your eyes be torn out instead of denying the faith and defiling your soul;
and God, through an extraordinary miracle, replaced them with another pair of sound and perfect eyes to reward your virtue and faith, appointing you as the protector against eye diseases.
I come to you for you to protect my eyesight and to heal the illness in my eyes.
O SAINT LUCY, preserve the light of my eyes so that I may see the beauties of creation, the glow of the sun, the color of the flowers and the smile of children.
Preserve also the eyes of my soul, the faith, through which I can know my God, understand His teachings, recognize His love for me and never miss the road that leads me to where you, SAINT LUCY, can be found in the company of the angels and saints.
SAINT LUCY, protect my eyes and preserve my faith.
Amen.
(Say: 3 “Our Father”, 3 “Hail Mary”, 3 “Glory be”.)
