When ready to begin, read the accompanying words for each candle. (To light a candle wand over the top of the candle with the mouse.)
When finished with this reflective blessing all the candles with be burning--for joy, hope, courage, peace, grace and love.

I light these candles

A yellow candle of joy...despite all sadness,
A pink candle of hope...where despair keeps watch.
A purple candle of courage...where fear is ever present,
A white candle of peace...for tempest-tossed days,
A blue candle of grace...to ease heavy burdens.
A red candle of love...to inspire all my living.

These Candles will burn to inspire and to remember.
