Prayer When Lighting a Candle
The Prayer
Heavenly Father, as I light this candle, I lift my heart to You in faith and hope. May its gentle flame remind me that Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, shining through every darkness and leading all who trust in Him. Let this light be a symbol of my prayer rising before You and of my desire to walk each day in Your truth and love.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, may this prayer draw me ever closer to Your Son.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
