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 Lucy, pray for us!
