LORD, may this candle be a light
for you to enlighten me in my difficulties
and decisions.
May it be a fire
for you to burn out of me all pride and
selfishness.
May it be a flame
for you to bring warmth into my heart
towards my family and neighbours, and all
those who meet me today. Through the intercession of Mary, your mother
I place in your care those I come to
remember, especially ...
I cannot stay long here with You.
In leaving this candle, I wish to give You
something of myself.
Help me to continue my prayer into everything I do this day
AMEN.
