<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 22.0pt;">The mystery of today's ceremony has
frequently been explained by liturgists, dating from the 7th century. According
to Ivo of Chartres, the wax, which is formed from flowers by the bee was always
been considered as the emblem of virginity, and signifies the pure nature of
the body of the Divine Infant, who is diminished not, either by His conception
or His birth, and was born through the spotless purity of His Blessed Mother.
The same holy bishop would have us see, in the flame of our Candle, a symbol of
Jesus who came to enlighten our darkness. St. Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury,
asks us to consider three things in the blessed Candle: the wax, the wick, and
the flame. The wax, he says, is the Flesh of our Lord; the wick, is His Soul
within; the flame, which burns on top, is His divinity.</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 22.0pt;"></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 24.0pt;">Two main reasons
for this very true saying is that parents are primarily responsible for
children’s catechesis, and of course, families spend much more time in the home
than they do at the parish. The Catholic home altar is also one of the simplest
means of evangelising friends and family. So, like an increasing number of Catholics,
why not bring some of those Catholic devotional sacramentals from
Church, that draw souls to God, and incorporate them into your home?</span></i></b></div>
