Weeping in the World

"A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." ~ Matthew 2:18

Today is the Feast of the Holy Innocents. I woke up with the thought of children around the world today still be massacred in DR Congo, in Syria, in Newtown, and around the world. My mind drifted to the Idle No More Movement and the children on reserves who live in slum conditions in Canada. We fail children still today. We are unable to protect them and we assist covertly in their destruction with our First World hunger. A voice still weeps in Ramah and Rachel is yet to be comforted. We should all refuse to be comforted until the violence stops.

Peace,
