Candle prayer

Question from mimi on 1/15/2008:

Someone asked about a candle prayer. O Blessed Lord and my beloved mother, Mary, please accept this burning candle as a sign of my faith and love for Thee. Like this candle, I am ready to be used in Thy service without asking why or to what purpose. Even as this candle, I wish to be consumed in the light and warmth of Thy love. Please hear my prayer and, if it is Thy will, grant my petition. But above all, make me loyal and faithful to Thee in all circumstances of life. Amen.
