Holy Innocents, you were killed because one man was filled with hatred, pray for those who hate that God may touch their hearts and fill them with love.
Holy Innocents, you experienced a violent death, pray for all who are affected by violence that they may find peace and love.
Holy Innocents, your parents grieved for you with deep and lasting sorrow, pray for all parents who have lost young children that God may wrap a warm blanket of comfort around them.
Holy Innocents, those around you certainly felt helpless to prevent your deaths, pray for all who feel helpless in their circumstances that they may cling to God for courage and hope.
Holy Innocents, you who are now in Heaven, pray for all of us that one day we may join you there to bask in God's love forever.
Amen.
Beautiful. Thanks so much.
And with the palm branches too. Many people don’t realize that the palm branches represent martyrdom. I think I have that right.
Thank-you for this wonderful prayer. This prayer is not just only a prayer, but a teaching lesson for me, two weeks after my home state, CT, suffered from a horrible shooting incident this prayer is a blessing. God Bless.
