We extinguish the light of our chalice, but not the light of life and love that lives in every human heart.

Let your light shine bright.

As we go out into the world, let us rise to life and love and hope.

Extinguishing the Chalice

At times our own light goes out and it is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think, with deep gratitude, of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer

Extinguishing the Chalice

We extinguish the light of our chalice, but not the light of life and love that lives in every human heart. We take our energy and our love with us out into the world.

We extinguish the light of our chalice,

but not the light of life and love that lives in every human heart.  

May we be mindful of the many gifts that come into our lives and give

thanks for them. May we believe that our greatest

gift is found not in what others give us,

but in what we share with others.
