My Apologies and a Request for Prayers

Many years ago, I had a cataract removed from my right eye.I now have one, not yet ready for surgery, in my left eye. As a result my right eye is my 'good' eye. However, every so often, for some reason, the sight in the right eye becomes so blurry that i can basically only see light and dark, and movement with it. Without my right eye, I can't read or see what I'm typing.As I've mentioned, I type with one finger, and I make lots of typos. It's very important that I can see what I've typed, and be able to see the handy red underlining of Google spell check when I've made an egregious error.

The problem with my sight explains why I appeared to be slacking today. I have no idea what causes it, and my doctor saw nothing untoward when he last checked me out. Luckily, it usually lasts only a day or so. Nevertheless, it's frightening! Please offer a prayer asking St Lucy, Patroness of eye problems to pray for me. Here's the prayer I'm saying.

Saint Lucy

Whose beautiful name signifies 'LIGHT'

by the light of faith which God bestowed upon you

increase and preserve His light in my soul

so that I may avoid evil,

Be zealous in the performance of good works

and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and

the darkness of evil and sin.

Obtain for me, by your intercession with God

Perfect vision for my bodily eyes

and the grace to use them for God’s greater honour and glory

and the salvation of souls.

St. Lucy, virgin and martyr

hear my prayers and obtain my petitions.

Amen.
