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
Towards my family, my neighbours and
All those who meet me.
Through the prayers of Mary
Virgin and Mother
I place in your care those
I come to remember
Especially - - - - - - - -
I cannot stay long here
with you in this church.
In leaving this candle I wish to give
you something of myself.
Help me to continue my prayer
In everything I do this day.
