S.L. chp. 12

#41

The next day, however, being the Sabbath, he preached a discourse which was held to be the richest and most powerful, and the most replete with heavenly influence, that had ever preceded from his lips.

I believe Dimmesdale was given a small gift by god. The gift itself was his great sermon and I believe God reassured him with the heavenly meteor. The heavenly influence could also be from relieving some of his stress from holding his secret. Just being with his previous lover and child may be all he needs to do. I mean this was the greatest service that they had ever heard pass from his lips.

  1. So the meteor is a sign that Dimmesdale needs to be with his "family"?
