Candles

 The sweet scent of the candle burning, giving that lavender smell to fill the air; to give relaxation. The Candle is a simple, but beautiful item! It burns the wax; not to fast, but not to slow! We often use the candle at Easter to show that the light of Christ as come into the World!   The Great symbol of the Candle is just Beautiful!

Where do we find candles in our lives:

• By the Altar at Church
• By the Tabernacle 
• The Advent wreath
• Easter
• On your kitchen Table
• On a religious table 
• At a Vigil 
• At adoration 

We use candles for many reasons; if it's for respect for the Lord or if it's to relax, or even to get a bad smell out of the air.

•  At the most obvious point we use the candle to Guide us on our journey waiting for Jesus to come into our hearts on Christmas.The time is to make our path straight and we use the story of the candles to make it straight.

•  At the Tabernacle to show that Christ is present; the candle is usually is a red glass jar. But when we see the candle lit is when we Respect that area even more; we go and pray, because we know that God is THERE!

• At a Vigil or on your religious table; that our prayer might be brought to God - or we light that candle in remembrance of a person. Sometimes if you go to a blue mass they have candles to give out for the person that passed away in that year, to remember them.

• On your kitchen table either for a anniversary dinner or to lighten the air with a sweetness: or just for decoration. The Sweet smell rises and calms all who pass. 

• At baptism; after the child is baptized the child receives the light of Christ for  the first time! That light is to be kept burning brightly in the child's heart, that they might grow and live in the love of God!
