Pray for us St. Lucy, that we may see.
Some months ago I had a strange experience at mass when the priest invoked "Lucia" during the canon (it was a Novus Ordo mass in Latin during the William Byrd festival).

Santa Lucia, ora pro nobis!

Here is something quite sweet which makes me smile to see the lights go up in honor of the Royal birth and to ask Santa Lucia to pray for an ever more radiant light to come forth from the Church!
Amen!
Opps! Here's the link! Enjoy!
