Light a Virtual Candle

In today’s Catholic tradition, light has a very special place because it symbolizes Christ who said, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have light and life” (John 8:12). Some Catholics light candles before an image of our Lord and before saints. This Catholic Practice is not to honor the image itself but the one it truly represents. The lit candle symbolizes a prayer offering where we present our petitions to the Lord and ask the saints to pray with us and to pray for us during our most dire need. This light, as it is kept burning, also shows our desire to remain in God’s presence as we go through our daily duties at home and in the workplace.
