Chalice Lightings
M. Maureen KilloranFor every time we make a mistake
(May be read responsively)
For every time we make a mistake and we decide to start again:
We light this chalice.
For every time we are lonely and we let someone be our friend:
We light this chalice.
For every time we are disappointed and we choose to hope:
We light this chalice.
