Loving Heavenly Father,
I declare that today is the Day of the Love of God. This is a sign of victory, that this candle will never be extinguished. May this light reflect everywhere the love of True Parents and the love of God.
Whenever this candle burns may the family be united, and may that family have peace, connecting with the sovereignty of Your love through this light.
This candle will be able to prevent the power of darkness, to prevent all that is improper, and to protect from the shadow of discord whoever holds this light; please, allow this candle to become a candle of the victory of holiness.
Also, whoever loves this candle, wherever the special prayer is given, may they be united with True Parents, with the world of spirit and the world of body, under the governance of Your love.
I initiate the Ae Chun Candle in order to connect the everlasting future history with Your glory. Therefore until the Kingdom of Heaven is established I bless them [all those who hold these candles] in order that they may succeed.
I declare all this in the name of the True Parents.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
