This is the Fourth Day of Christmas
Eucharistic Readings for Holy Innocence
Jeremiah 31:15-17 Psalm 124 Revelation 21:1-7 Matthew 2:13-18
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they are no more.” (Matthew 2:18 and Jeremiah 31:15)
I know a Rachel who has no children and yet she is a perfect mother. She is kind and gentle, very smart and nurturing. Children, when we are blessed with them, are a gift from God. And because they are precious in God’s sight, they should be precious in our sight as well. After all, we are made in the Image of God.
We are never to hurt or harm children, only help them, teach them, save and love them. This is what Christmas is all about. Merry Christmas: Day 4
The testimony of John the apostle about our Lord Jesus is true; Believe. Merry Christmas: Day 3
Let us not take our hate or ill will for another with us to our mortal death. Merry Christmas: Day 2
Our being saved has as much to do with the birth of Jesus as it does his Resurrection from the dead. Merry Christmas: Day 1
Let us hear what the Spirit is saying to and through the saints of God and then ponder anew what the Almighty can do. John
