🕯️How blessed candles can drive away demons🕯️ The devil hates light, as it reminds him of Jesus, the "Light of the World." The blessing makes these candles into “sacramentals,” an extension of the sacraments of the Church and a channel of divine grace. One spiritual benefit of blessed candles is their ability to drive out the demonic. This is clearly shown in the blessing found in the Roman Ritual. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, bless these candles at our lowly request. Endow them,
