Lighting a Candle....
Tomorrow is the feast of All Souls Day. In the Catholic tradition, it is the day we honor all of our dearly departed souls. It comes after All Saints Day, which honors all the Saints in heaven. One way that we honor people and pray in my church is to light a
candle for them. I would like to remember Freddie Prinze in this manner tomorrow and
was wondering if anyone would like to join me. We could pick a time, for me it would
have to be evening after work, and we could light a candle and say a prayer or have a
moment of silent remembrance for a man that has touched us all. What do you think?

Yes Chicosladyfair, 5 pm PST and 7 pm CST. You don't have to be Catholic, BTW, I just thought it would be a nice thing to do as a group if you wanted to and I'm glad you all do. 8pm is great for me too so I think it's all set. I even have a Toasted Hazelnut candle that Mariposa gave me to light. It will help me to remember him as I'm praying for him, like I need help remembering HIM!

How long are we gonna leave our candles burning? Is there a customary amount of time or can we burn them for as long as we want?
I love candles so it's no problem for me to light 10 or so for Freddie..LOL.

Cheryl Harrell · 11-01-2001, 08:37 PM

We can't light one as we may be at hubbys cousins tomorrow nite but I will definately pray.

God Bless you Freddie.

Forgot to mention this weird incident. The other nite I was watching some CATM epsiodes with my hubby & one of the lightbulbs in the den got brighter when I mentioned Freddie. I told my hubby I wonder if Freddie made that happen from heaven? So I said Freddie if your up there in heaven & are doing okay can you give me a sign to let me know you are up there & okay? Well, I later forgot about it until... Sometime later I heard a loud boom that started me. So I got my hubby to go with me & check it out. I turnd out that a candle I had in a candle holder in the dining room had fallen down onto the floor & made that noise! I wonder if Freddie caused that? Weird huh????

Cheryl, I believe he is still with us, hears our conversations, sees our devotion to him, and feels the love we have for him.

Thank-you Luckymama for presenting this lovely and unifying tribute. I am honored to join all of you tomorrow at 8 p.m. for the candle lighting.

Anna, you are wonderful to have had the Special Masses held for "Our Prinze".

LADY LOVES FREDDIE · 11-02-2001, 08:30 PM

yea I wonder too, is there a certain amount of time to burn the candle and I have tons of candles and I will light the best one for our dear Freddie

it smells so good too.And I will also say a prayer.

atlangel · 11-02-2001, 08:39 PM

Well, I am standing by and ready. This is so wonderful. Thank-you all, for this special moment.

FREDDIE FOREVER!!

Luckymama58 · 11-02-2001, 10:46 PM

Well, I lit six candles and prayed silently for about 15 minutes. It was a wonderful experience. I really could sense his smile on me as I prayed for him and all my loved ones who have gone on before us. I could also feel you all too, as you joined me. I thank you and Freddie thanks you too!

I put his picture up and lit a really nice candle and talked a little bit to him, I dunno if he can hear me or not but I did, and actually I cleared off a shelf and put some potpourri by his picture & told him how I felt about him.

It was nice ...Theres so many beautiful traditions in the Cathloc faith and others too.God bless you Freddie....

Cheryl Harrell · 11-03-2001, 07:10 AM

I was a little late praying as we were at Mikes cousins but I did pray silently for him. I didn't get to burn a candle being over there but my thoughts were with him...
