Heavenly Father, In your heart-rending mystery, you made these infants, the Holy Innocents, great and glorious warriors and witnesses to the splendor and power of the Son's saving act. By their intercession and your grace, restore our innocence, strengthen our resolve, and establish our faith, So that, no matter what opposition we meet, we may testify to the Life and Love you have brought to us in him, Who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting.Dear Holy Innocents, beaten on the anvil of man's envy and cruelty, you were forged into mighty instruments in the hand of God. We look to you and beg for your prayers that we too may receive at his hand the grace to give our lives and withhold nothing, that his Love may reign in our hearts and throughout the world.
