PURIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
This is what we have heard from Jesus
Christ, and the message that we are announcing to you:
God is light; there is no darkness in him
at all. If we say that we are in union with God while we are living in
darkness, we are lying because we are not living the truth. But if we live our
lives in the light, as he is in the light, we are in union with one another, and
the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we say we have no sin
in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth; but if we
acknowledge our sins, then God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins
and purify us from everything that is wrong. To say that we have never sinned is
to call God a liar and to show that his word is not in us. I am writing this,
my children, to stop you sinning; but if anyone should sin, we have our
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is just; he is the sacrifice that
takes our sins away, and not only ours, but the whole world’s. Universalis
Gospel Matthew 2:13-18 The massacre of the innocents
After the wise men had left, the angel of
the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and
his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you,
because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph
got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for
Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord
had spoken through the prophet: CDR
I called my son out of Egypt.
Herod was furious when he realised that he
had been outwitted by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding
district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or under,
reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men. It was then that
the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled:
A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loudly lamenting: it was Rachel weeping for her
children, refusing to be comforted because
they were no more.
My Father, my
God as we celebrate today’s Feast of Holy Innocents, our little Angels and
Saints, I pray for the departed souls of every infant, every child. Father
grant eternal rest to their souls.
Father I pray for aborted children, children killed by their leaders as
a result of war and conflicts. Children abused and murdered by adults, children
subjected to all forms of inhuman treatments. Children killed by their parents
and abandoned children. Protect every child from danger.
Infant Jesus
pray for all infants and children all over the world. Bring us peace and love.
Dearest Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus Christ pray for all children. Saint
Joseph you protected the infant Christ, protect all children. Jesus our
Emmanuel we love and adore you. Blessed be God both now and for ever Amen.
