The candles in the Mary Chapel burn for three days and the offering is $1. It only accepts $1 bills.
Lord, May this candle be a light for you to enlighten me in my difficulties.
May it be a fire for you to burn out of me all pride, selfishness and impurity.
May it be a flame for you to bring warmth into my heart, towards my family, my neighbors and all those who meet me.
Through the prayers of Mary Virgin and Mother,
I place in your care those I came to pray for, especially_____.
I cannot stay long with you in this church.
In leaving this candle, I wish to give to you something of myself.
Help me to continue my prayer into everything I do this day.
Amen.
