“Won’t Always Be Like This”

Revelation 21: 4: “And He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.” This is my favorite part of the Feast of the Holy Innocents: This reading where we are reminded that, even though today children are still exploited, made to beg on bridges and in the streets, mistreated, malnourished, and abused, and that far too many children die far too young - it’s not forever. The time is coming, people, the time is coming - when all will understand that all life, especially young life, is sacred.
