DAY 35 — THE MELTING CANDLE

In a dark chapel,
a single candle burned quietly on the altar.

A visitor watched as the flame grew smaller,
wax dripping,
the candle slowly disappearing.

He whispered,
“What a waste.”

A priest standing behind him replied,
“No.
A candle fulfills its purpose
by giving itself away.”

The visitor looked again—
and saw not loss,
but offering.

Lent is a season of sacrifice:
time, comfort, habits, attachments.

But sacrifice is not destruction—
it is illumination.
What you offer to God
does not reduce you;
it brightens the world.

A candle doesn’t fear burning away
because it knows
the flame is the point.

Your sacrifices this Lent
are not about losing something—
they are about becoming light
in a dark place.
