Saint
Lucy is the Patron St. of the blind.
She
is, therefore, pre-eminently the Patron St. for modern man.
Blind to
God's love, goodness, mercy, generosity – and purblind to His
justice; blind alike to Heaven and Hell, to sin and sanctity, good
and evil, truth and mendacity – and blind to his blindness, man is
a mole.
What is
more, each is without ears, so even if told of the Light, they will
hear as much as they see.
What,
then, is the difference?
The mole
is without sin – and does not choose the darkness
from which it cannot escape. And the mole, without ears, can
nevertheless hear, while the man, with ears, can choose to be deaf
... even as he chooses to be blind.
No doubt
you will ask me, "by what authority do I tell you this ... that
modern man is a mole?"
But I
will first ask you, "By what authority do you question it?"
