A 10-second reading

Written on the wall of a small church in the Pyrenees: "Lord, may this candle I have just lit make light, and illuminate me when I have problems and make decisions. May it make fire, so that You can burn away my egotism, pride and impurity. May it make a flame, so that You can warm ny heart and teach me to love. I cannot remain for long in Your church. But in leaving this candle, a bit of myself remains here. Help me to extend my prayer to the activities of this day. Amen."
