Prayer Before Lighting the Candle

Prayer Before Lighting the Candle

Father in heaven
The light of Jesus
Has dispersed the darkness
Of hatred and sin
Accept this candle
And let the light your truth
Guide me to your kingdom
Inflame me heart with your grace
Keep me in the radiance of your truth
Fill my heart with your divine love
And please help me in my needs
(mention your petition)
Grant this through Christ our Lord
and through the intercession of
(mention your guardian angel)
Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

Memorare

MEMORARE


Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled
to your protection, implored your help and sought
your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you.
O Virgin of virgins, my mother, to you, I come,
before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
do not despise my petition, but in your mercy
hear and answer me. Amen.

Prayer for the Souls in Purgatory

Found this 5 years ago in Catholic online site.

St. Gertrude the Great was told by our Lord that each time the following prayer was said, one thousand souls would be released from purgatory!

“Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious blood of your divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.”
