Matthew 2:13-18

Today
we remember the ongoing holocaust of abortion that seems to be getting
worse year by year. I find it unbelievable how we can slaughter the
unborn and yet protest about the maltreatment of animals in experiments
and so on. Do not get me wrong, I believe that there should be limits
as to what sort of experimentation should be permitted on animals but
we move the argument to a much higher plane when we begin to talk about
human beings. Either we believe life is sacred or it is not! Either we
respect it from the moment of conception or any other respect is
irreparably compromised! Life has an absolute quality of respect or it
has no protection at all. We can see where it all
leads as we are now also fighting legislation against euthanasia; next
it will be eugenics proper, and from there, who knows?

13 When
they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in
a dream and said, Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him. 14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. 15 He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of
Egypt I called my son. 16 When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. 17 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet: 18 A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were
no more.
