MEMORIAL SERVICE 2013

Service of remembrance for those we love but see no longer during which candles were lit.

Lighting a candle….

Lighting a candle is a prayer…

…when we have gone, it stays alight,

kindling in the hearts and minds of others

the prayer we have already offered

for them and for others:

for the sad, the sick, and the suffering;

and prayers for thankfulness too.

Lighting a candle is a parable…

…burning itself out, it gives light to others.

Christ gave himself for others,

He calls us to give ourselves.

Lighting a candle is a symbol…

…of love and hope, of light and warmth.

Our world needs them all.

+

Lord, this candle that I have lit,

may it be light from You

to lighten my way through difficulties and decisions.

May it be flame from You

to warm my heart and teach me love.

Lord, 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.
