LEADER: Let us take a moment to identify something you are wearing or carrying in a pocket or purse that can act as a sign of you spiritual journey or inner life. Hold the object in your hands.
LEADER: Place your symbol near the candle, and as you do and if you choose, tell us how the object expresses your spiritual journey. Pause for sharing.
LEADER: Let us light the candle.
ALL: We give thanks for all the saints, those who have gone before us, those who are among us now, especially our families and loved ones who inspire us along the way. Amen.
