Light one candle for Hope Hope for those who gather with us Hope for those without hope Hope for those alone Hope for those who battle illness of body, mind or spirit Hope for ourselves that our faith might be greater than our fear
Light one candle for Peace Peace in our hearts Peace in our homes Peace in our cities Peace in our church Peace in our world
Light one candle for Joy Joy-hearts open to receive Joy-hands ready to share Joy-bearers ready to be the stained glass window through whom the Grace-light shines Joy-holders that we might see the darkness in another and hold the candle towards the light Joy-watchers as we await Emmanuel "God With Us"
Let us wait for our candle of Love
In this week of Joy Let us light a candle for peace and be the peace in the lives of others

Let us light a candle for joy that we might bring delight to others.
