“Precious Babes”

Matthew 18: 14: “Thus it is not the will of your Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.” Lest anyone think that the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem were considered collateral damage to help young Jesus escape the clutches of the despicable Herod (whom some today try to make into a hero), see how much Jesus loves His little ones. Three times here he warns against causing them to stumble or perish. The love is obvious. Happy Feast Day, Holy Innocents!
