The Holy Innocents, martyrs of Bethlehem

Today, December 28, we observe the Feast of the Holy Innocents, remembering the tragic massacre of children in Bethlehem ordered by King Herod in his attempt to destroy the Christ Child. This sorrowful event, recounted in Matthew’s Gospel, reminds us that even in the joyous season of Christmas, the shadow of sin and suffering lingers. Yet, amid the darkness, the light of Christ shines — a light no earthly power can extinguish. 🙏 Reflect and pray with us: Celebrate the coming of Christ with insights rooted in Scripture and the rich spiritual heritage of Bethlehem. 📖 Read today’s Mass readings: https://bible.usccb.org/ ✨ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more daily meditations!
