In this prayer to Saint Lucy, we ask her to intercede before the throne of God and obtain the graces our souls need to live in holiness. We ask her to protect our eyesight and accompany those suffering from eye disease, while preserving the eyes of the soul: our faith, through which we know God. Prayer should accompany, not replace, appropriate care from a qualified eye-care professional.
Prayer to Saint Lucy for Diseases of the Eyes
O beloved Saint Lucy,
I come to you and ask you to intercede before the throne of God
and obtain for me the graces my soul needs to live in holiness.
You preferred to lose your eyes
rather than deny the faith and stain your soul.
According to a cherished tradition,
God restored your sight through an extraordinary miracle
as a reward for your virtue and faith,
and the faithful came to invoke you
as a protector against diseases of the eyes.
(Mention your intention or requested grace here.)
O cherished Saint Lucy,
I come to ask you to protect my sight
and accompany me in the illness of my eyes.
Help me preserve the light of my eyes
so that I may see the beauty of creation,
the brightness of the sun, the colors of flowers,
and the smiles of children.
Preserve also the eyes of my soul:
faith, through which I can know my God,
understand his teaching, recognize his love for me,
and never lose the path that leads to where you,
Saint Lucy, dwell in the company of the angels and saints.
O Saint Lucy,
protect my eyes and preserve my faith.
Amen.
