Feast of the Holy Innocents

Posted by Gina

On this day, the Feast of the Holy Innocents, may we stop and reflect on those poor souls who have lost their lives at the hands of another human being. May the Lord grant each one of His children the grace to see His love revealed in their lives and the prudence to respond accordingly. However in the event that we fall victim to one of Gods children who is yet to live in the light, may we then find the fortitude through the grace and mercy of our loving Father… to forgive. A tall order indeed but inevitably the answer to our salvation.

I ask you to include the below intercessions as you pray today… thank you and God bless ~gina

The Feast of the Holy Innocents

The Holy Innocents are few, in comparison to the genocide and abortion of our day.

But even if there had been only one, we recognize the greatest treasure God put on the earth—a human person,

destined for eternity and graced by Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Intercessions for Life

For the tiny unborn child in her mother’s womb,

That God might teach us

How to love, nurture and support her;

We pray to the Lord:

For every woman whose heart is broken

By the sin of abortion:

For the courage to accept Gods mercy, healing and peace;

We pray to the Lord:

For those who work to promote the Gospel of Life

By prayer, by witness and by action:

That God might bless them for their goodness;

We pray to the Lord:

For our President and all who work with him:

That God might fill his heart with a love

For the weakest, the littlest, and the most defenseless of our citizens;

We pray to the Lord:

For all who will die today:

That by the prayers and consoling presence of family and friends,

They might journey home to God;

We pray to the Lord:

For those who have grown very old,

And suffer the losses and pains of old age:

That God might give us the grace to love and cherish them;

We pray to the Lord:

For all who are tempted to suicide:

That through our love and faith

We might encourage them to embrace the cross

and to live in obedience to their loving Lord;

We pray to the Lord:

For the parents of every unborn child:

That God might fill their hearts

With love for the child he has placed in their care;

We pray to the Lord:

For our country:

That by recognizing the rights of each of her citizens

to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,

she might stand as a beacon of hope to all the world;

We pray to the Lord:
