Holy Innocents (Matthew 2:18)

A VOICE IS HEARD IN RAMAH, LAMENTATION AND BITTER WEEPING. RACHEL IS WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN

HEROD’S SOLDIERS ARE BUSY AGAIN IN DARFUR

SUDAN

SOMALIA

NIGER AND BANGLADESH

IRAQ

LATIN AND SOUTH AMERICA

USA

HAVE THEY EVER BEEN IDLE

WE STRUGGLE TO KEEP CHILDREN ALIVE IN THE WOMB

AND KILL THEM DAILY

WITH POVERTY

HUNGER

SICKNESS

WAR

ARE HEROD’S MEN BEING MORE MERCIFUL

ARE HEROD’S MEN ANGELS OF MERCY

BRINGING RELIEF IN TIMES OF TRIAL

THE LEGEND IS THAT CHRIST DIED

IN PART

TO BE WITH THE INNOCENTS

TO BE WITH THOSE WHO SUFFERED FOR HIM

TO BE WITH THOSE WHO DIED FOR NO GOOD REASON

TO BE WITH THOSE WHO DIE FOR NO GOOD REASON

TO BE POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF RACHEL’S PAIN

READING

WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU.............................

CHRIST CALLS OUT

IN THE VOICE OF ALL THOSE WHO ARE ABANDONED

ALL THOSE WHO ARE POWERLESS

ALL THOSE WHO ARE SPEECHLESS

ALL THOSE WHO ARE CONSIDERED NO VALUE

AND CRIES OUT

WHY

AND THE INNOCENTS CRY

WHY DID WE DIE

AND IN THE FACE OF RACHEL’S PAIN

WE ARE MUTE

ASHAMED

HUMBLED

AND POOR
