Deepertruth Tuesday Our Lady of Quadalupe and the St. Lucy Story (8:00 Central)

Tuesdays are basically open nights for interviews, topics of interest, and featured articles from the Deepertruthblog.  Each week this will be an opportunity for Deepertruth to promote upcoming events such as Ross and Margie of Roaming Romans.  They will have the mike from time to time as they prepare for their Jerusalem and Rome trips.  

It was the fall of 1978 that I began to rediscover perhaps for the first time the importance of my Catholic Faith. The story of St. Lucyintrigued me greatly because of her courage.

St. Lucy lived in the early 4th century during a massive persecution of the Catholic Church. She was a very beautiful young woman whom I wondered how she would have lived in our time.

As a young beautiful woman, many men wanted to take her hand in marriage and her Mother wanted to arrange a wedding for St. Lucy. That never materialized because of St. Lucy’s love and commitment to Jesus Christ. She wanted to be one of Our Lady’s maids who are presented before the King (Psalms 45:15).

St. Lucy dedicated her life solely to the Lord. She would pray at the tomb of St. Agatha and through her intercession, her Mother was cured of a long illness miraculously.

This led to her Mother’s conversion to Christ, but that did not stop the suitors seeking St. Lucy’s hand in marriage.
