Candle beeswax blessed
The blessing of candles : February 2nd
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple or the Purification is commonly
called Candlemas because the Mass is preceded by a solemn blessing of
candles, designated formerly under the generic name of candles and these
candles are lit and carried in procession to represent the journey of
the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph bringing Jesus to the temple, their
light alludes to the words of old Simeon calling Jesus the Light of
nations
During the first prayer the priest asks God to "bless and sanctify the
candles, for use by men, for the health of body and soul, on land and
sea".
Reminder
An object which was blessed and that is sold, automatically loses the
blessing that has been made.
Ecstasy of 20th September 1880
The Flame says :
“There will be two days of
awful darkness, different from those announced. The whole sky will be
violet and red, so low that the tops of big trees won’t be visible.
These two days will serve as a warning to you, and be like a proof of
His goodness to you, as well as proof of the imminence of God’s anger on
earth.
“You will not be spared
this darkness.
To
remain strong when faced with all these signs, holy water will be a
strength and a consolation, as well as blessed candles – but made of
wax. All those made of another material will be of no use.
“There will be three days
of physical darkness. During three nights and two days, there will be a
continual night. Only blessed wax candles will give light in this
horrible darkness : one will be enough for the three days
but, in the houses of the impious, they will give out no light. Flashes
of lightning will enter your homes, but they will not put out the
candles : neither wind nor storms will be able to put them out.”
“My children, says the
Blessed Virgin, note well what I tell you. …During those days of
mourning, there will be a new earthquake, not as strong as a lot of
other ones in many other places. It will be easy to recognise it :
everything will tremble, except the piece of furniture, where the lit
wax candle is on. You will gather around it, with the Crucifix and my
blessed image. During those days, this is what will keep fear away
from you, which will be the cause of many deaths”.
“Here
is a proof of my goodness : to those who will have served me well and
invoked me well, and will have kept my holy image in their house, I will
watch over all their possessions and none of them will be damaged.
“During those three days,
I will protect their hungry beasts. I will mind them because it will be
impossible to even open a door a little. The hunger of these animals
will be satisfied by me, without any food.
