0 God our  Creator and Redeemer, mercifully hear our prayers that as we venerate Thy servant, St. 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 and the blindness  and the darkness of evil and of sin. Relying  on Thy goodness, 0 God, we humbly ask Thee, by the intercession of Thy servant , St. Lucy that Thou wouldst give perfect vision to our eyes, that they may serve for Thy greater honor and glory, and for 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. St. Lucy,   irgin and martyr, hear  our prayers and obtain our petitions.
