| 0:30.4 | Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Wednesday, December 13th, 2020. Today is also the feast day of St. Lucy. St. Lucy was an early Christian martyr. She lived in the late 200s in Italy. Now, Lucy's story is a powerful one, and she has |
| 0:42.3 | been commemorated as a virgin martyr from the very moment of her death. Her story is that when she was |
| 0:48.9 | a young woman, her father died, and her mother suffered from a terrible disease. |
| 1:01.6 | She was Christian, and so her and her mother traveled to the shrine that commemorated the martyr St. Agatha. |
| 1:06.5 | St. Agatha had died and miracles were occurring at her shrine. |
| 1:08.8 | So they went there and they prayed. |
| 1:10.6 | They prayed for hours. And miraculously, as they prayed, her mother was suddenly healed. |
| 1:16.3 | So thankful for this miracle, Agatha and her mother gave all of their money away, including Lucy's dowry. |
| 1:25.7 | So they gave this dowry away. And guess what? The man that she was supposed to marry |
| 1:30.2 | was very upset. And so, since he was a pagan, he took advantage of the Christian persecution |
| 1:37.0 | happening at the time. He turned Lucy over to the authorities. She was terribly mistreated. |
| 1:46.8 | They tried to kill her by burning her. |
| 1:50.3 | Then they tried to gouge her eyes out, which they did. |
| 1:53.9 | But miraculously, her eyes were restored instantly. |
| 1:57.8 | Finally, she died for the faith through the sword. She is remembered oftentimes in statues, standing there holding a plate with her |
| 2:03.5 | eyeballs on it. She is a patron saint of the blind, and she is a powerful example of how we should |
| 2:10.6 | be willing to give up everything, even our lives for love of Jesus Christ. This week on the Catholic |
