Living Flame

icon

Do not grudge burning a wax tape before the image of the Lord during prayer; remember that you burn it before Light inaccessible, before Him who enlightens you with His Light. Your candle is as though a burn offering to the Lord. Let it be a gift to God from your whole heart. Let it remind you that you yourself should also be a burning and shining light. ~~~St. John of Kronstadt
