The Commemoration of the massacre of the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem, and all innocent victims

  

          Beloved, 

          do not 

          be surprised 

          at the 

          fiery ordeal 

          taking place 

          among you 

          to test you, 

          as though 

          something 

          strange 

          were 

          happening to you. But rejoice 

          in so far as you are sharing 

          in Christ’s sufferings...
           I Peter 4:12-13
