Then the flame of Peace went out completely.
The First Flame said:“I Am Peace”
“People’s Hearts are full of fear and anger … The flame started to dim… They are resentful and unforgiving so my flame cannot
burn bright.”

Then the flame of Joy went out completely.
The Second Flame said:“I Am Joy”

A Child entering the room saw the four unlit Candles and asked:
“Where are your flames?”
You’re supposed to burn bright until the end!
The Child became frightened and started to cry.
“When I Am burning Bright all the other Flames will burn bright too.”
The Fifth Flame answered: Do not Despair there is nothing to Fear;
“I Am Love”
With Joy in her eyes and Hope in her heart the Child took the flame of Love and lit all the other Candles…

Then Trusting in Love to keep them burning brightly she felt
at Peace.

Wisdom and knowledge without Love is worldly, boastful and egocentric.
Truth without God’s Love is legalistic and worldly.
