Deign to light our lamps, Christ, our sweet Savior, and let them burn forever in your temple, receiving unfailing light from your unfailing light and thus illuminating our darkness and dispelling the world's darkness from around us.
(From the Instructions on Compunction by St. Columban, Instruction 12, found in Benedictine Daily Prayer: A Short Breviary, p. 847)
