Loving God,
as we light this candle
May it be symbol of your light and love in our home and in our lives today.

We ask a special blessing on all of us,
on our neighbours, on our friends, on the lonely,
and on all who are…

I shall pass through this world

But once.

Any good therefore that I can do

or any kindness that I can show

to any human being let me do it now.

Let me not defer or neglect it,

for I shall not pass this way again.

Amen

Bless all who worship you,
almighty God,
from the rising of the sun to its setting:
from your goodness enrich us,
by your love inspire us,
by your Spirit guide us,
by your power protect us,
in your mercy
receive us,
now and always.
