How lovely to read it here too :) I often light a candle at home on my altar in the living room, as it creates a sense of prayerfulness, and is a symbol of bringing God's light into the house. Often, I carry a lighted candle around the house with me as I do my chores, and reflect on carrying God's light into everything I do, however mundane (cleaning the loo!) and sanctifying it. Before conversion, I went to a Baptist Church, and such things as lighting candles were looked upon with suspicion. It was truly wonderful to convert into a faith which uses and values all the senses :) Blessings to you, Mrs.P xx We have this prayer placed next to the statue of the Virgin Mary where we light our votives in Church.
