Candles of Joy and Sorrow

The photograph was taken by Philip Waldron. 2013. Gateacre Chapel.

May the light you hold clear your path on a road of continuous sorrows,

May the light sparkle with the joy that you hold in your heart!

May the flame warm the hearts of friends and families where they have gone cold.

May the words that are spoken over your flame rejoice in the little miracles in our lives.

May your love embrace others as you light your candle in silence

And in the silence, we share the unspoken truths.

Let these candles burn brightly forever in our lives.
