St. Lucy Comments
Lucy's name means "light", with the same root as "lucid" which means "clear, radiant, understandable." Unfortunately for us, Lucy's history does not match her name. Shrouded in the darkness of time, all we really know for certain is that this brave woman who lived in Syracuse lost her life in the persecution of Christians in the early fourth century. Her veneration spread to Rome so that by the sixth century the ... Continue Reading

To everyone who reads this. Please pray for the son of my dear friend who was in an accident and lost sight in one of his eyes. This kid is a good person. In spite of a major trauma to his brain and head, and in spite of multiple painful surgeries, he is always happy and kind, and optimistic. This is a young man who was an exceptional athlete and may not be able to get back to sports, but it seems it has not dampened his spirit. Please ask St. Lucy to intercede for him to regain his sight if it be God's will. Thank you.
St. Lucy, Please pray for me. I am having eye pain and the discomfort frightens me. Pray that I will be not afraid and that there is nothing wrong. I struggle with worry, please pray that I will not worry too much. Be with me and help me as I pray to God for health and comfort. Amen
I'm doing research on Saint Lucy, and I need some facts. Maybe people could write some facts in bullet points for me? Thanks :)
St Lucy is my confirmation name and I am having a lot of trouble with my eyes so I have began to research St Lucy as I know she is the patron saint of the blind and eye troubles etc. What is the green thing she holds in the image on this page? In different images I can't tell whether it is a palm leaf or a feather? Does she have a motto of any kind? Answers would be really appreciated, thanks :)

Saint Lucy is a wonderful saint to emulate! She is a blessing to us all. My future daughter will be named Lucy, after such a great saint and my amazing grandmother!
this was very helpful. I chose st.lucy as my confirmation name. When i was in 3rd grade i did a report on her and have felt connected to her ever since. you can never find too much information about a saint that has lived several years centries ago. This site was great! :)
Yes im picking Lucy as my confo name and i found this very usfull, altho it was a bit short =(
I have enjoyed reading all the comments about Good St. Lucy and I am greatful for the information on her life. My husband, Jim, had eye surgery in Oct 2010. He has developed an infection behind that eye and having a very difficult time healing. He has an appointment this Thursday, Jan 13. Please St. Lucy hear me and intercede for Jim to our Lord Jesus Christ that my husband will be healed completely and his sight restored like new. I trust in you Jesus, Divine Mercy. Please St. Lucy ask our Lord to heal Jim's eye.
I LOVE ST.Lucy Sge was a really good saint weird lol!
I love Saint Lucy. I am going to pick her for my Confirmation. I think I am the third person in my class to choose a Saints name and we are making it in March.
I've just picked Saint Lucy to be my saint for conformation that wont happen for me for 4 or 5 years. Her story just inspires me, others chose St Jude, St Valentine, just because of there patron saint of _____, or the saint's feast day is their birthday, But i chose Saint Lucy because of her story, its sad but very inspiring.
