A curious Mass after Christmas: The Holy Innocents: Thursday, December 28th, 2017

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

Holy Innocents Martyrs 

·      “When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi,
he became furious.
He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity
two years old and under,
in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi.”

Sad recognition

And what about “the culture of death?”

·      Abortion

·      Contraception

·      Divorce

·      Down Syndrome “purifying”

·      Euthanasia

In some ways, we should pray for “pro-life”

·      “A voice was heard in Ramah,
sobbing and loud lamentation;
Rachel weeping for her children,
and she would not be consoled,
since they were no more.”
