Faith is most effective when we engage our minds, our hearts and our senses. Small actions -- like passing a flame from candle to candle, person to person, light pushing back the darkness flame by flame -- teaches and affirms us in ways that words alone cannot. We experience the metaphors of how a tiny piece of light can pierce the darkness, how each of us by small actions can pass along and multiply warmth and light, how we can give of ourselves and lose nothing. As we take part, we understand the joy and power and comfort of community as well as the significance of each individual. From my candle to yours, Peace be with you!
