The Feast of the Holy Innocents
is today. There is information on them here. Prayers for today's threatened innocents would be appropriate.

Upon the Infant Martyrs
by Richard Crashaw (1613-1649)

To see both mingled in one flood,
The mothers' milk, the children's blood,
Makes me doubt if heaven will gather
Roses hence, or lilies rather.

Prayers are also requested for Fr. Michael, whose anniversary of priestly ordination is today.
