The Holy Innocents were destroyed by a power-hungry king, but an angel rescued the Christ child. The holy innocents remind us to stand up for those who have no voice, they tell us that we can suffer with Christ for the salvation of the world. Let us pray for the grace and courage to witness to the Lord in moments of suffering in our lives as well. 

This homily was preached on the passage from Mt 2:13-18 by Rev. Fr.  Geo Tom, C.Ss.R. on 28th Dec. 2021. Let us reflect and pray to the Lord
