THE FOUR CANDLES

THE FOUR CANDLES BURN SLOWLY.

THE AMBIANCE WAS SO SOFT YOU

COULD HEAR THEM TALKING.

”I AM PEACE !

HOWEVER, NOBODY CAN KEEP ME LIT .

I BELIEVE I WILL GO OUT."

It’s flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely.

THE SECOND ONE SAYS:

”I AM FAITH !

MOST OF ALL, I AM NO LONGER INDISPENSABLE ,SO IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY

SENSE THAT I STAY LIT ANY LONGER ."

When it finished talking, a breeze softly blew on it putting it out.

SADLY, THE THIRD CANDLE SPOKE IN ITS TURN:

”I AM LOVE !

I HAVEN’T GOT THE STRENGTH TO STAY LIT. PEOPLE PUT ME ASIDE

AND DON’T UNDERSTAND MY IMPORTANCE. THEY EVEN

FORGET TO LOVE THOSE WHO ARE NEAREST TO THEM ."

And waiting no longer it goes out.

SUDDENLY...

A CHILD ENTERS THE ROOM AND SEES THREE CANDLES NOT BURNING.

”WHY ARE YOU NOT BURNING? YOU ARE

SUPPOSED TO STAY LIT TILL THE END."

Saying this, the child begins to cry.

THEN THE FOURTH CANDLE SAID:

”DON’T BE AFRAID, WHILE I AM STILL BURNING WE CAN

RE-LIGHT THE OTHER CANDLES,

I AM

HOPE !"

WITH SHINING EYES, THE CHILDTOOK THE CANDLE OF HOPE
