Introductory Prayer

Father, you created me and put me on earth for a purpose. Jesus, you died for me and call me to complete your work. Holy Spirit, you help me to carry out the work for which I was created and called. In your presence and name—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—I begin my reflection. May all my thoughts and inspirations have their origin in you and be directed to your glory.

Feast of the Holy Innocents, martyrs

This is a tough one, the feast of the Holy Innocents. We commemorate today how a vain, power-hungry, and ultimately, fearful man ordered the killing of innocent children. What provoked this massacre? The birth of a great king, born as a child into humility, meekness, and ultimately, love. Christ the King, a stark contrast from Herod.

There are still many Herods in our world today who, in fear, exert force over the weakest and most vulnerable. Today is a day to reaffirm what makes our King a great king, His humility, meekness, and ultimately, His love. May we follow in his steps.
