in The Light

...to be said while lighting candles

We begin by honoring the Light,

We light these candles for our families, our

beloveds, our friends, for our relations;

For those who are near and for those from whom

we feel unwanted distance;

For the newborn, for the elderly, and for the 

wounded children.

May the candles inspire us to use our powers

to heal and not to harm, to help and not to

hinder, to bless and not to curse.

May their radiance pour out upon our hearts, and

spread light into the darkened corners of our world.

Learning to be the light by Newworldson

Such a wonderful imagery springs from this reading ...the love,

the connection, the healing, the warmth.

It brings to my mind so many special memories of 

times softened by the glow of candle light.  Sometimes when I 

am feeling fragmented, I light a candle to help me remember I 

am truly connected to the light ~ a part of the light!

May we all be connected by the light,

warmed by the light,

melted into the light that shines forth from everyONE!
