Sentenced to be defiled in a brothel, Lucy
asserted:
|
"No one's body is polluted so as to endanger the soul if it has not
pleased the mind. If you were to lift my hand to your idol and so make me offer
against my will, I would still be guiltless in the sight of the true God, who
judges according to the will and knows all things. If now, against my will, you
cause me to be polluted, a twofold purity will be gloriously imputed to
me. You cannot bend my will to your purpose; whatever
you do to my body, that cannot happen to me."

St Lucia,
pray for us!
Saint Lucy is one of seven women, aside from
the Blessed Virgin Mary, commemorated by name in Eucharistic Prayer I of the
Canon of Mass.
