CANDLES - A CONSTANT PRAYER

Candles serve many different purposes and are very symbolic. Lighted Candles in the Church or during processions represent the Mystical Divine Presence or the True Light. In Baptism, lit candles are symbolic for our new spiritual life. The candles during the Gospel reading remind us that the teaching of Christ should enlighten us. Lighted candles for special intentions mean that our prayer should come from the heart burning as a candle with love for our Lord. We should remember that as long as a candle is lit, our prayers for that intention are ascending to God. A lit candle is a constant prayer. For example a six-day candle is a six-day prayer. Can you pray day and night for six days?

For those of you who would like to sponsor candles in the church, you may do so by clicking on the donation buttons below, and the proper candles will be lit for you.

Please include the candle location of your choice and your intentions. You may also add a sponsors name if you wish to make it public. If you do not want to use your credit card with Paypal, you may always send your donations to St. Athanasius at the address above.
