The Candle in the Window

The Candle in the Window



“Welcome to this holy moment.
and this is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic —
where the final step of our journey leads us to Emmanuel.”


“Today’s story begins on Christmas Eve…
with a candle glowing in a window.”


“In a quiet neighborhood,
a young couple placed a single candle
in their window on Christmas Eve —
a tradition from the wife’s family.
A neighbor asked,
‘What does the candle mean?’
She replied,
‘It means we are waiting.
And it means He is already here.’
That night,
a traveler walking past the house
saw the candle and felt comfort —
as though the small flame
whispered to him,
‘You are not alone.’
The light in a simple window
became Emmanuel for a stranger.”


“Emmanuel means ‘God with us’ —
not far,
not distant,
not watching from afar,
but WITH us.
With us in the mess.
With us in the waiting.
With us in the questions.
With us in the tears.
With us in the quiet victories.
God is with you
not because you reached Him,
but because He came all the way to you.
Christmas Eve is the moment
He stands at your door
and says,
‘I am here.’”


“So today ask:
‘Where do I need to feel God-with-me?’
Whisper:
‘Emmanuel, stay with me…
in every part of my life.’
This is Tiny Advent Parables with Fr. Dominic.
Maranatha… Come, Lord Jesus.”
