Embrace Easter’s Light and Faith by Lighting a Votive Candle

Easter is the cornerstone of our faith, celebrating Christ’s resurrection and His triumph over sin and death. It is a season of hope and renewal, inviting us to reflect on God’s mercy and the light of Christ in our lives. Lighting a votive candle during this sacred time becomes a profound act of prayer and devotion, symbolizing our intentions and trust in God’s infinite love.

For more than 200 years, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate have embodied Christ’s light, meeting the spiritual and physical needs of communities around the world. By lighting a votive candle, you not only express your own prayer but also support their vital work, which transforms lives and brings hope to those in dire circumstances.

Spanning locations like:

• Namibia: Bringing spiritual care and critical resources, such as medical clinics and education, to underserved communities.
• Laos: Honoring the courage of Missionary Oblate martyrs who shared the faith even in the face of persecution, continuing their legacy of service today.
• Sri Lanka: Strengthening families and parishes through education and pastoral outreach that fosters both spiritual and personal growth.

As the Missionary Oblates bring Christ’s love to forgotten places—where churches and sacraments may not be accessible—your act of faith helps sustain their mission. Each candle lit is a tangible expression of hope, connecting your intentions to their ongoing service of compassion and renewal.

Let the light of Christ inspire you to lift your prayers this Easter and unite them with actions that make a lasting impact. Share His love and bring healing and renewal to those in need.
