Literally, the hearth is
our HOME, our sweet home. It is our
household, our family life. The hearth, when lit up, is also the source of tremendous warmth. No wonder we huddle around
it. We want to take in all its comforts
especially when the cold air sets in. The
fireside light has a lot more drawing effects, however, as it pulls us together. It breathes tenderness, cordiality and
affection much like the effect brought by
a circle of two or three of us gathering, celebrating, praising, giving thanks,
and remembering all whom we love. The
Hearth reminds us too of the Brightest Light, our Lord Provider of love and warmth, who constantly shines on our spiritual paths. We must embrace, and sustain the gifts a hearth gives!
