Relying on Your Goodness, O God, we humbly ask you ,by the intercession of Your servant, Saint Lucy, to give perfect vision to our eyes, that we may serve You for Your greater honor and glory. We pray for the salvation of our souls in this world, that we may come to the enjoyment of the unfailing light of the Lamb of God in Heaven.
The 92nd annual Mass honoring St. Lucy of Syracuse, the patron saint of eye diseases, will be at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church at 1139 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., New Orleans.
The St. Lucy relic will be offered for veneration immediately after Mass.
Lucy, whose name can mean “light” or “lucid,” is the patron saint of the blind.
