Prayer for Lighting a Vigil Lamp:

Set our hearts on fire with love for you, O Christ our God,

So that in its flame we may love you with all our heart,

With all our mind, with all our soul, and with all our strength,

And our neighbors as ourselves,

So that by keeping your commandments we may glorify you,

The giver of all good gifts. Amen.
