To Light a Candle
in Walsingham
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 to 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 leaving this candle, I wish to give you something of myself.
Help me to continue my prayer into everything I do this day.
Amen.
From the shrine of Our Lady
of Walsingham in Norfolk.
