‘I had Indi baptized to protect her, so she would go to heaven. It gives me peace to know she is in heaven; God is taking care of her. … I will love you always, Indi…’
What is the Church trying to tell us by situating these particular feasts just after the joyful celebration of the Savior’s birth?
The great Doctor of the Church called the Holy Innocents “infant martyr flowers,” because they were the first martyrs for the faith.
For the first time in our world’s history, with the feast of the Holy Innocents, the lives of babies were celebrated simply for their existence.
Catholics are encouraged to begin the prayer on Dec. 19 in order to finish it by the feast day of these little saints, Dec. 28.
The report appeared on a day that is observed in Spain much like April Fools’ Day.
