Saint Lucy is the patron saint of the blind and those with eye disorders. Therefore, it is important to help those who are blind by supporting the teaching of braille, or by helping the National Federation of the Blind.
"Saint Lucy, you did not hide your light under a basket, but let it shine for the whole world, for all the centuries to see. We may not suffer torture in our lives the way you did, but we are still called to let the light of our Christianity illumine our daily lives. Please help us to have the courage to bring our Christianity into our work, our recreation, our relationships, our conversation -- every corner of our day. Amen."
