and i quote,
"In the lighting of candles we remember and truly live the words of Our Lord: "I am the Light of the World." In the lighting of candles we not only pray, but our prayers become smaller symbols of the One Light of Christ. In burning candles, our prayers rise up to Heaven day and night. The lighting of candles has been observed since the early the time of the early martyrs."

source: A Catholic Life: Why do Catholics Light Prayer Candles?

with regards to this, words from a local itself; when we light the candle it does not repesents our prayer alone, but as a tradition establish us, when we pray, to God; reminds us that He is there for us as our Light, as He promised.
In many Catholic ceremonies candles represents Christ as the light, and such is what happens when we lit our own.

and of course as usual(in this forum), you ask cause you don't believe. (unless out of natural curiosity)

AMEN to this...

Dagkot/Candle magick is probably one of the simplest forms of magick to get started with. You need nothing but the candle and fire to light it with. Candle magick can also be seen to be complete within itself, as the body of the candle is made up from the elements of Earth, Air and Water. To complete you need fire and spirit. Fire is easy, and Spirit can be represented by the wick of the candle, as the wick is where the potential of the candle lies and will be unfolded with. With the candle lit, the flame of your intent will burn. Candle magick have been used for centuries for magick and ritual. We light candles at holidays, a practice that takes place in many different religions, cultures and traditions. Candles invoke the divine, they create a sense of ceremony and they are facinating to look at. Through their ability to help you to focus on your wishes they make your heart's desire come true. So Dagkot na tah!
