Fifth Day of Christmas - The Holy Innocents

God,

As I recall the slaughtering of the Holy Innocents that is so hidden and buried in my religious tradition, I ask that the uncovering and remembering of this event come with a new sense of mourning. Help me to recognize and speak out against the Herods of today; bring to my attention the suffering of children in the world.

My attention is also directed to the people of Pakistan and the family of Benazir Bhutto. As the people there are your children, so also may justice and your cosmic healing be brought about there.

Amen.
