PRAYER
O glorious Santa Lucia, who combined the profession of
faith with the glory of martyrdom, help us to openly profess the truths of the
Gospel and to walk in faith according to the teachings of our Saviour.
Oh Virgin of Syracuse, be thou the light in our life
and the model for our actions so that, after following in thy footsteps here on
earth, we can rejoice together with thee in the vision of our Lord. Amen.
The granting of partial indulgence.
