Holy Innocents

 I can't help but think of the Holy Innocents every time I think 

about the innocents in CT

We, who are Catholic, celebrate the feast of the Holy Innocents on December 28th

every year, remembering the innocent babies that King Herod killed in 

an effort to kill the newborn King, Jesus.  

Joseph, took Mary and baby Jesus and fled to Egypt

saving them.

The celebration is the fact, they are in Heaven, 

and Jesus lived, 

they died for Him.

Very much like these children, 

looking forward to Christmas, 

the birth of our Savior.

 

Such tragedy

I cry every time I think about it

I place my mothers heart in their places

I give my 6 year old extra kisses and hugs

I think about the substitute teacher who got up that morning

thinking she'd make an extra 100 bucks that day

only to lose her life

I think about the fear in those rooms while this was happening

I think about the upset in heaven while this was happening

Those holy innocents

I think and pray about the faith of all left behind to grieve

I pray they keep their faith, 

that they realize that this was not God's will

that this was not part of His plan

that God gives us the choice always to choose

and

I hope that President Obama and other high ups

see that by "choosing" to take God away from

public places like schools 

they are only opening the door for evil to happen.
