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, selfishness and impurity. May it be a flame for you to bring warmth into my heart toward my family, all those whom I meet, and whom I hold dear and to my neighbours, friends and colleagues. Through the prayers of Mary, Virgin and mother I place in your care those I come to pray for, especially………
I cannot stay long with you in this Shrine: In leaving this candle I wish to give you something of myself. In doing so, I wish you, dear Mother, to perfect my prayers, so that by the time they reach the ear of your Son, Jesus; they will be perfected. Help me, dear Lord, to continue my prayer into everything I do this day. Amen.
