| Bishop Paul preaching at Midnight Mass surrounded by the Advent and Christmas candles |
Light me, I am the white candle,
I cry out the end of waiting.
I am the candle
whose colour contains
all the spectrum’s colours.
I am the light
that sets the sky ablaze
for shepherds.
I am the star
that draws wise men
to journey to a destination.
I am the glow
that comes from a baby born -
from all of Love.
I am the fire
that stands in the centre of four flames - I proclaim
Gospel.
