The Holy Innocents (F)

1 John 1:5-2:2; Psalm 124; Matthew 2:13-18

Today’s Holy Innocents

The death of little children, the “holy innocents” of today, is a terrible reality in our world. As well as the millions who die through abortion, millions of children die of hunger or illness caused by grinding poverty, many are used as slave labour or as child soldiers, many are trafficked to be sexually abused for the online entertainment of hundreds of thousands. These are all God’s beloved children and are crying out for our help. What can we do?
