Holy Innocents, a Tribute
Oh Lord, the infants martyrdom was the true sign, that
The King of Kings was born and glorified
God protected His own Son, handed him over to the
Earthly father, holy Joseph to protect Jesus,
God’s angel told Joseph to take mother and child and flee from Judea to Egypt
Holy Joseph, a just man took mother and Baby Jesus to Egypt
Thus God saved His own Son as the prophets told,
God has brought him out of Egypt
The furious King Herod killed the infants in Bethlehem and the surrounding places,
As the prophecy is fulfilled, ‘a voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly:
it is Rachel weeping for her children,
refusing to be comforted because they are no more.’
Oh, Holy Innocennts, you all were the witnesses for the Lord’s coming into this world
God has chosen you to be as oblations to show the love to the world
Your sacrifice became the lesson and sign to whole humanity,
To love life and give life to all unborns in wombs of mothers
Lord, the martyrdom of these all innocents were given us the hope
That no longer we will allow to kill our infants and unborns
The pain in the hearts of the mothers, fathers and their Guardian Angels,
became as prayers for the unborn and infants of all generations
Wishing You all a Blessed Feast of Holy Innocents
