When I lit a candle in Hereford Cathedral, I picked up a card that reads:
The shrine of St Thomas of Hereford: a place where pilgrims have left their prayer for hundreds of years.
Lighting a candle is a prayer
When we have gone it stays alight — continuing our prayers of thanksgiving and intercession for those in need.
Lighting a candle is a parable
Burning itself out it gives light to others…
Lighting a candle is a symbol
Of love and hope — of light and warmth.
Our world needs them all.
