During
a celebration of the Liturgy of the Light, each child receive a lit candle, and hears the words, "Receive the light of Christ.
Lori,
4, looked frightened as she gazed into her lit candle. I asked if she was
scared of the fire. She nodded yes without blinking or taking her eyes off of
the flame. I asked if she wanted to blow her candle out. With equal intensity
she shook her head no. Lori was experiencing deeply the power of the mystery;
innately she knew that this power was greater than her fear.
