I don't have the information as to the identity of the person who wrote this quotation, but the above quotation is quite appealing to me. Symbolically, the "full-moon" represents Christ in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar . Upon the other hand, the "Stars" symbolize the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the Apostles, the Martyrs, the Saints and the Heavenly Angels of God. Noticeably, the moon is closer to us than the stars. And the same goes with God. Christ Jesus is closer to us than the Angels and the Saints in heaven. While the Angels and the Saints can help us attain salvation through Jesus Christ and guide us to Paradise...however, they cannot save us. Only God can save us, and forgive our debts. So whenever we pray, we should pray to the God who is unseen (e.g. in reference to the teachings of Jesus Christ on prayer as found in the gospel of St. Matthew); and imitate our way of life with the Lord. For in the final analysis even if we fail and missed the moon, rest assured we’ll land among the Stars -- in Heaven.
