December 13, 2024, Feast of St. Lucy, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, December 13, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Lucy (283-304), the famous Sicilian martyr venerated since ancient times.

Born and died in Syracuse, Sicily, Lucy (or Lucia) made a vow of virginity and distributed her wealth to the poor. With the help of the Holy Spirit, she stood immovable in her virginity. After torture, which included taking out her eyes, a fire was then built around her, but again, God protected her. She was finally put to death by the sword.
Today’s feast can easily be harmonized with Advent themes, as this saint is a living symbol of light amid darkness and typifies the Church and the soul now preparing their bridal robes for a Christmas marriage.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Lucy, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!
