All the darkness of the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle, yet one candle can illuminate all the darkness.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.

I love the way you lit candles, with the insistence that I never look, just so I can open my eyes and find the light in the darkness.

"One need not to light a candle to feel the warmth from the Light of Christ" ~Tom Baker
