The Feast of the Holy Innocents

This is one of the readings that we had at our Christmas "Veilee" and I thought you might like it.

Christmas Poems

-          Patricia Rainier

There’s a little bit of Christmas

 In every face we meet.

And a little bit of Christmas

     In each new day we greet.

    There’s a little bit of Christmas

In all the deeds we do.

       And it really should be Christmas

                  Each day the whole year through

      For Christmas is the one true day

      We always give our best –

   The kindness, joy and happiness

    That always tops the rest.

It is the day we show our love

                To family, friends and strangers,

The day we celebrate the birth

                  Of the Child Who’s in the manger.

        So if Christmas wasn’t just one day,

But every day that’s new

         There’d be a LITTLE BIT OF CHRISTMAS

              Each day our whole lives through.

The children so recently shot come to mind as we celebrate the Holy Innocents.
