Neither the candles themselves nor the verses on them are officially produced by, or necessarily approved by, the Catholic Church. You would have to contact the manufacturer of the candles to obtain information on the verses used by that particular manufacturer. If you get the candles at a Catholic book store or Catholic religious articles store, the proprietor may be able to provide you with some information. But not at a grocery store.

They DO make the same candles in English, or bilingual versions. If you post the paragraphs here, someone will be able to translate them, or, you can just try for a market with more of an English-speaking client base.
