And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on earth. (Revelation 18:24)
I come to you for you to protect my eyesight and to heal the illness in my eyes. O St Lucy, preserve the light of my eyes so that I may see the beauties of creation, the glow of the sun, the colour of the flowers and the smile of children. (Prayer for St. Lucia – Latin Church)
