V. Pray for us, O blessed Lucy,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Mercifully hear us, O God of our salvation, that even as we rejoice in the constant faith of blessed Lucy, thy Virgin and Martyr, so we may be instructed in sentiments of loving devotion, Through Christ our Lord Amen.
Saint Lucia’s Day, also known as Lucy for short, is observed on December 13, 2014 and is the Church feast day dedicated to Saint Lucy. Its modern day celebration is generally associated with Sweden and Norway but is also observed in Europe countries. In the United States it is celebrated with cookies on the mantel in states for a large number of people of Scandinavian ancestry, often centered around church events.
