December 28 is the feast day of the Holy Innocents. This day commemorates the children who were executed by Herod in fear that the newborn messiah would take his throne.
The Holy Innocents are the patron saints of babies.
Grieving the loss of a loved one can be a long process. It is natural for many to turn to God in these times. Although it can also be normal to experience anger, disappointment in God, or a general lack of faith. Don't despair! God is still there. He is waiting for you and patiently allows each of us to grieve in our own way.
On the feast day of the Holy Innocents, bless your children with a traditional Jewish blessing. Trace the sign of the cross on your child's forehead when you say the blessing.
Many people might think the March for Life and the Women's March have to be in opposition to each other. This video explains that Catholics are both pro-life and pro-woman.
"Today we pray for all the children who are not allowed to be born, who cry with hunger, who hold weapons in their hands instead of toys. " - Pope Francis
