Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr

Read

As a saint of the early Church, not much is known about St. Lucy.  What we do know is that she was executed because of her Christian faith in the year 304.  Learn more about the legends surrounding this patron saint of the blind from American Catholic. 

Pray

Antiphon of the Canticle of Zechariah from the Feast of Saint Lucy
I am the Lord's poor servant; to him alone, the living God,
I have offered all in sacrifice; I have nothing else to give;
I offer him myself.
Saint Lucy, patron of light and truth, pray for us,
that we might defend the Gospel of life,
and protect all whom the world has forgotten!

Reflect

Reflect on the courage of St. Lucy and other early Christians to protect all those the world has forgotten. Watch the "Meet Mary" video and think about how you might be called to respond to the forgotten in your community."
