On the liturgical calendar of the CC, December 13 is the feast day of St. Lucy (of Syracruse) and she is commemorated at Holy Mass on that day.

I felt that I had to make public what I experienced this past December 13 when coming to morning Mass. At the beginning of Holy Mass I heard the priest mention that St Lucy was a martyr for the Faith, but that she is also the patroness for people with eye disease.
When I heard that, I immediately sent up an appeal to St Lucy to pray to Jesus to please take care of my left eye which for months had been bothering me. Every day there is a kind of aching feeling in that eye and tears keep welling up. This condition also gave me blurry vision. I had mentioned this to my ophthalmologist and was given a prescription for dry eyes.
Well, I did not give my petition any more thought, but during the Eucharistic prayers I all of a sudden realized that my eye had stopped aching, my eye was dry, no tearing, and my vision was clear! Wow! I immediately realized what had happened and gratefully thanked St Lucy for her intercession and I also thanked Jesus for listening to St Lucy’s prayers on my behalf.
Well, today is the second day of the healing of my eye and vision, and all I can say is:
Blessed be God in his Angels and his Saints!
