In these days of culture of death, there are many holy innocents
“The innocent boys were killed because of Christ. They follow the lamb without spot and sing: glory to you Lord! “
That’s how it happened: “Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and his men to kill all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under “ (Mt 2, 16)

He was born a little guy that is the great King! The Magi arriving from afar and came to worship Him, still lying in the crib, He who reigns in Heaven and on Earth. To announce the Magi, the birth of a King, Herod is upset, determined not to lose his Kingdom, he wants to kill the newborn. However, if he had believed the child, Herod could’ve reign safely on this earth and forever in the afterlife.
The Holy Innocents were witnesses to the life that Jesus Christ is God, King and Lord. In our times, in which everything revolves around the culture of death, we can, with our choices, choose life or death. Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
Preparing for the new year that we’re entering into, my decision is for Jesus, Lord of life and of infinite mercy.
The Lord is my light and salvation. “If the Lord wasn’t on our side, when men invested against us, I’m sure we would have eaten in his burning anger against us. Our soul as a bird escaped from the bond that you frame the Hunter. “ (PS. 123)
From those who make children and young people objects, free us Lord!
Come, Lord Jesus!
