Suggested Offering only $2 to encourage Prayer of Petition.
Telling someone struggling that we lit a votive candle for their intention can bring consolation and peace to them. Doing so can be a fruitful way to reach out and offer support during the pandemic. And, note that when we light a vigil candle, we are not alone. Other burning candles remind us of others' heartfelt intentions. We can include a prayer for them as well.
If you feel comfortable, please include your candle's intention in the Prayer Book next to the candles by the Madonna painting.
Hail Mary full of grace, pray for us. Amen.
