A Prayer for Light and Life

+ O God, this candle that I have lit,

May it be a light from you

To lighten my way

Through difficulties and decisions.

May it be a fire from you to burn

Up my selfishness, my pride,

And all that is impure in me.

May it be a flame from you

To warm my heart

And teach me to love.

O God, I cannot stay

Long in your house

This candle is a little bit

Of myself that I offer to you

Help me to continue my prayer

In all that I do this day.

Amen. +

Used at the cathedral at Tours

During the time of Saint Martin, Bishop

371-397 A.D.
