The light from the candle signifies your prayer, which is offered in faith, entering the light of God. It also shows reverence and your desire to remain present in prayer even as you continue your day. The faithful also light candles as a sign of gratitude to God for answered prayers.
From the beach stones gathered that make up the walls of the Shrine Chapel to the plants that grace the Marian and Biblical Gardens, all are the work of volunteers giving their time for the greater glory of God. Are you being called to this work?
