what's burning in your candles?

mine is a prayer for my departed loved ones. - - - - dear God who is ever compassionate and generous with your gifts, look down upon the suffering souls in purgatory. i am praying that you purify them of their sins and fulfill their fervent desires that they may be made worthy to observe you in your glory. may they be united with you and hear those blessed words which will take them to their heavenly home. let perpetual light shine upon them and may our departed loved ones, my father, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin and departed family members of my friends and extended families, rest in peace. amen - - -
