Prayer to Saint Lucia to be recited today to ask for a grace

O glorious Saint Lucia, You who have lived the hard experience of persecution,
you obtain from the Lord, to remove from the hearts of men all purpose of violence and revenge.
It gives consolation to our sick brothers who with their illness share the experience of the passion of Christ.
Let the young people see in you that you have offered yourselves entirely to the Lord, the model of a faith that gives orientation to all life.
Oh virgin martyr, to celebrate your birth in heaven, both for us and for our everyday history, an event of grace, of industrious fraternal charity, of a more lively hope and a more authentic faith. Amen
