Father Broom preaches on December 28, the Feast Day of the Holy Innocents – Matthew 2:13-18. These innocent children (all under the age of two years) were slaughtered to slake the envy and hatred of Herod.
In our nation today, we have our own slaughter of millions of innocent defenseless babies in their mothers’ wombs. They can not escape the cruel tools of the abortionist. They can not defend themselves. We must be the ones to shield them… to save them, to treasure them. They are victims of our materialistic and self centered society. We must be the ones to love and protect them in every way that we can.
TRIUMPH OF THE INNOCENTS is the name of the painting in this podcast. These Holy Innocents are gathered around the Holy Family in the Flight into Egypt. The Triumph is theirs because now they see and love Christ for all eternity.
Father Ed Broom OMV is a member of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary and is Associate Pastor at St. Peter Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens California.
