Many came this morning to reflect, pray, receive ashes and light a candle symbolizing their presence with God and His presence with them. As the light the candle, they pray this prayer:

Father in Heaven, I light this candle as a symbol of my being present with you, even as you are always present with me. Today, as I carry on my daily duties, may this lighted candle burn as a symbol of my constant prayer and my presence with you. Amen.
