There were four candles burning. The ambiance was so
soft you could hear them talking.
The first one said, “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 does not 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 have not gotten 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 too goes out.
Suddenly a child entered the room and saw three
candles not burning. “Why are you not burning you are supposed to stay lit till
the end.”
Saying this the child began 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 child took the candle of Hope
and lit the other candles.
The flame of Hope should never go out from our life so
that each of us can maintain HOPE, FAITH, PEACE and LOVE.
