When I had a friend dying while I was a student there, I would light a candle and leave it in the grotto, where it would also burn for 48 hours. I liked that. Being there was my first experiences of lighting candles as prayers.I cannot go there, but I can light a candle at home and also a symbol of one at the site at Gratefulness.org. You can, too.
Prayer:
Lord, I hear your voice calling. Empower me to be your representative this day. May all I meet receive the gift of hope through the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through me. Let me remember that the light of a single candle defies the darkness of the world. It is time for me to arise and shine. Amen.

Oh! This is wonderful!
And it's been so nice to catch up with you.
The light of a single candle defies the darkness. I like that. Great thoughts.
I love this site, I have "lit" candles there before....
thank you for the link to that site!
oh, i love that site too, and need to go light another candle right now (just returned from a church meeting). please pray for Neil, who also is dying. He was executive presbyter here during an exceptionally turbulent era (way before *my* time); Peggy, his spouse, has been an especially good and caring friend to me. Thanks.
This is wonderful! Thank you for this post. I think I will include the candle link on one of my posts. I love prayer, silence and meditation. God bless you!!!
