Lighting a candle….
Lighting a candle is a prayer…
…when we have gone, it stays
alight,
kindling in the hearts and
minds of others
the prayer we have already
offered
for them and for others:
for the sad, the sick, and
the suffering;
and prayers for
thankfulness too.
Lighting a candle is a parable…
…burning itself out, it
gives light to others.
Christ gave himself for
others,
He calls us to give
ourselves.
Lighting a candle is a symbol…
…of love and hope, of light
and warmth.
Our world needs them all.
+
Lord, this candle that I
have lit,
may it be light from You
to lighten my way through
difficulties and decisions.
May it be flame from You
to warm my heart and teach
me love.
Lord, I cannot stay long in
Your house.
This candle is a little bit
of myself that I offer to you.
Help me to continue my
prayer
in all that I do this day.
Amen.
