Homily for the Feast of the Holy Innocents (Wednesday in the Christmas Octave), delivered at New Auckland Place Nursing Home, Gladstone, Qld.
"This is what we have heard from Jesus Christ, and the message that we are announcing to you: God is light; if we live our lives in the light... if we acknowledge our sins... our advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, takes our sins away, and not only ours, but the whole world’s." (cf. 1 Jn 1).
"Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth..." (cf. Ps 24).
"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." (cf. Mt 2).
