O Lord, our G-d and G-d of our Fathers, Who is full of compassion, may it be Your will to have mercy on us. Help us and save us speedily so that we can start from now to sanctify the seven candles – the two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and mouth.
May I merit to sanctify my mouth so that no falsehood ever leaves my mouth nor any word that is blemished, Heaven forbid. On the contrary, let all my words be truthful, holy and pure. Let me sanctify my mouth with words of Torah and prayer. So also, help me make my eyes holy by closing them to all the evil in the world. Especially help me and save me so that I won't see anything leading to bad thoughts. From now on, rescue my soul from blemished sight. "Turn my eyes away from seeing any vanity." Please come to my aid so that I always incline my ears to words of Torah and of true Torah scholars. Let me have perfect belief in them. May their words really enter my ears and arouse my heart so that I return to You and always perform Your will. Protect me and save me so that I will never hear any improper word and certainly not let it enter my ears. Don't let me accept any word of evil or gossip or any kind of blemished speech. Rather, may I always hear the true tzaddikim such that my ears become sanctified. And may I merit to have real fear of G-d and by this to sanctify my nostrils. Protect me from any kind of anger.
Take pity on us for we haven't the wisdom and understanding to know how to appease You after we have blemished these seven "candles" so much. Because of the great number of blemishes to the "candles", our minds have become very muddled and our intellects clouded. Our brains and understanding have become very confused. As a result we have all sorts of questions and doubts; crookedness in the heart has resulted, and my mind has become warped so that I can't approach anything in holiness as I should. Therefore, please G-d, have pity and merit us to arouse the mind by shouting out. Then, let us really sanctify the holy seven candles such that we draw on ourselves the Essential Light which is Divine Abundance, a stream of understanding leading to the holy state of expanded consciousness called enveloping brains. For this is why we were born, to ascertain You.
