In tua patientia possedisti animam tuam, Lucia sponsa Christi:
odisti quae in mundo sunt, et coruscas cum Angelis:
sanguine proprio inimicum vicisti.

In your patience you mastered your soul, O Lucy the spouse of Christ:
You hated the things of this world, and now you shine with the Angels:
By your own blood you have overcome the enemy.
