Lord, may the candle which I burn be a light, so that you may enlighten me…

Help me to continue my prayer…

“Christ Jesus, you were always within me and I did not realize it. You were there and I was not looking for you. Having once found you, I longed for you to be the whole of my life. A fire was burning me. But so often, I began to forget you again. While you kept loving me.”

(Brother RogerThe Sources of Taizé)
