As we celebrate St Lucy, whose name means light is the patron saint of blindness. In her twofold sacrifice of virginity and martyrdom, we indeed acknowledge the power of God who has no equal in creation. St Lucia torture by Diocletian because of her deep faith helps us to look on God as our sole consolation and peace! Jesus takes very seriously our problems, our burden of sins and sufferings; He is able to and abundantly able to solve our problem and he invites to acknowledge him as the Son of God and our Saviour. By inviting us “come to me”, Jesus is boldly affirming sovereignty and his capacity to give us rest. Do you have any burden, come to Jesus! Like St Lucy, we must live our faith openly and without fear!

May St Lucy help us to carry the light of Christ into our world!
