378. Prayer to St Lucy

300 Days, once a day. (See Instructions, p. r.) SAINT, named from the light, full of confi- dence we present ourselves before thee, to ask of thee a holy light, which may render us cautious in avoiding the ways of sin and escaping the dark- ness of error.

We beg also, through thy interces- sion, for the preservation of the light of our eyes, together with abundant grace to use it always in accordance with the will of Gop and without injury to our souls.

Grant, O blessed Lucy, that, after venerating and thanking thee for thy powerful patronage on earth, we may come at last to rejoice with thee in the paradise of the eternal light of the divine Lamb, thy sweet spouse Jesus. Amen
