Creating a Home Monastary

I started Sanctus Candles as a way to enrich Catholic spiritual life in the home. The lack of unique and beautiful devotional candles set my creativity aflame, and I soon went to the drawing board and began Sanctus Candles during the summer of 2023. As a mother of nine teens, I use blessed candles all of the time! When they were younger, I remember this was the way I would draw the kids from the chaos of evening activities to a focus of prayer time. They loved the candles! Each child would light their own candle, and savor the privilege of blowing it out after we were finished. What are your childhood memories or traditions that surround the beauty of a candle?  Candles are a symbolic connection to the divine and an essential part of our Catholic liturgy. Their symbolic essence creates a prayerful atmosphere. I especially love the possibility for them to be blessed and used to create a more focused and powerful prayer life.
