Today, December 28th, has traditionally been celebrated as the Feast of the Holy Innocents, the day when the Church remembers the babies so brutally slain by Herod in his quest to kill the Christ. This day serves as an opportunity to remember, honor, and pray for all those whom the tyrants of this world destroy in their quest to steal Christ's crown and stamp out His Church. As we reach the end of another year in which our brothers and sisters have suffered and died, often unknown and unheeded, let us not forget to pray constantly for those who still suffer and bear witness for Christ, and to honor the memories of those who have been faithful unto death.
Let us remember that Herod and all his imitators have been dethroned by Christ, and pray that we would see this made more and more visible as the saints bear witness to King Jesus.
