Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
- Matthew 2:16-18
Today we remember the innocent children slaughtered by Herod after he was warned by the Magi that the One born King of the Jews had been born. Herod wasn't about to allow this Child to get in his way. Innocent blood was spilled.
Today, let us remember the innocent lives of children who die unborn as a result of abortion, and those who die too young through abuse, starvation, natural disasters, or war.
One way to help is to support a child through Christian Foundation for Children and Aging”. Only 5.4% of monies donated to CFCA are used for fundraising or administrative costs. The remainder goes to support children in need.
Please consider sponsoring a child.
I can attest to the wonderful work done by CFCA! Ron and I have a lovely "child", Jenelyn,who has been part of our family for some years now. A very young girl when we started,in the Philippines, she is gifted and has wonderful art skills. She is now in high school. And she frequently writes to let us know how she is doing!!! This is a wonderful thing we can do and find satisfaction in knowing that the young and old are cared for. For indeed, if someone choose they may sponsor the elderly as well. Have a grand day!! And God Bless!!!!! Cathy
