Rows of glowing red and amber novena candles fill the view from edge to edge, their small flames flickering in the dark

THE CHAPEL OF LIGHT

Light a Candle

For centuries the faithful have knelt where you are now — before a bank of small flames, each one a prayer that keeps watch after we rise and go. Kneel. Light one. Leave what weighs on you here.

  • KNEEL A MOMENT

    Be still before Our Lady's altar. There is no hurry here — the candles have been burning all night.

  • LIGHT YOUR CANDLE

    A novena candle burns nine days; a vigil candle, three. Every candle is free, always.

  • LEAVE YOUR INTENTION

    Keep it between you and God, or place it on the Wall of Light so others kneel beside you in prayer.

What This Site Is — and Is Not

Praying here is free
The Rosary, every prayer text, and the Wall of Light are free to use. Lighting a candle is never an exchange for a prayer, a blessing, or a favor.
No account is needed to pray
You never have to register or sign in to pray the Rosary or read anything on this site. You may also light a candle privately, in which case nothing is recorded at all.
Shared intentions are reviewed first
Sharing an intention on the Wall of Light is optional. Every submission is read by a person before it appears, and only your first name and last initial are ever shown.
Your email is never published
An email address is optional. If you give one it is never shown on the wall or anywhere else public, and is used only to contact you about your own submission if that is ever necessary.
A sign of prayer, not a substitute for parish life
The candles here are a sign of prayer and a help to devotion. They are not a sacrament or sacramental, and they are not a substitute for the Mass, the sacraments, or the life of your parish.

“Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” — Psalm 141:2
