A Liturgy for the Lighting of this Candle
Welcome Father, Son and Spirit.
I take this moment to slow down.
I make room for you now.
Would you fill and inhabit the home of my heart
just as you’ve inhabited your home
in other sacred ordained places?
I recognize the miracle that is
heavenly space and humanity’s space
overlapping together as one.
I take a moment to breathe in, to notice,
to savor and share that which is beautiful and good.
To open my heart to delight,
and to submit to your loving rest and rule,
whether any further words are spoken here or not.
Would you expose my hiding places
and cover me with your graces?
Turn my eyes to all I do not see of you,
and my ears to all I do not hear.
As you do, may the fragrance of knowing
you fill my heart
just as it fills this room.
