Transcript of Four Advent candles Four candles are burning slowly.
The first one says:
”I am peace !
No-one is receiving my light.
I think, I’ll be going out."
The flame was getting smaller and all at once it went out!
The second said:
”I am trust!
I am very vulnerable there is no sense in my
carrying on to burn”.
After saying this, there was a gentle breeze and it went out.
Quite spontaniously the third candle said:
”I am love!
I have no more strength. People push me aside and
don’t realise how important I am. They even forget to love
those who are close to them."
...and then the candle went out.
..a child came into the room and saw that
three candles had gone out.
”oh, why aren’t you burning anymore?"
The child asked
..and was very sad.
The fourth candle began to speak:
Don’t be afraid, as long as I am burning , we can light the other candles
again ,
I am
Confidence!"
With joyfully radiant eyes the child picked up the candle ‘Confidence’ and lit the
other three candles again .
