A Prayer by George Washington
Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large. And finally, that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion—without an humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We suggest having your candle blessed by a priest when you receive it so it may be used as a sacramental. The tradition of the Church has long placed importance on sacramentals such as blessed candles. One of their most remarkable effects is their spiritual significance, especially as aids in prayer and devotion and as a means of calling upon God’s protection.
“Beeswax candles are some of the oldest candles in history. Besides being all natural, they possess several health benefits. They are reported to improve allergy and asthma symptoms. Like air purifiers, beeswax candles release negative ions that neutralize particles from air pollutants, rendering them harmless.”
