Herod will seek to destroy the child!

Because of jealousy, envy, fear, insecurity and his selfishness, Herod, who represents the dark forces, Satan and his proxies, will demand the massacre of all boys from 0 to two years old. Because of the reasons today, Herod continues to massacre God's children. Through wars to conquer or preserve power, to ensure control of mineral resources, to have a position of power or promotion in a service, to remain the beneficiary of a bank account, land, 'a social climb, a marriage. Herod continues to wreak havoc in our societies today: The crisis in the South-West and North-West speaks to us; the recent massacres in Nigeria; the millions of people who continue to perish in Congo; the genocide that took place in Rwanda; the Israel Palestine’s war, the war going on in Ukraine... All this shows that we are not yet able to live as children of the light and that we do not yet accept Jesus as our King who must reign over us! The murder of the Innocents by Herod in his attempt to kill the newborn king demonstrates our refusal to welcome God and live according to the values of his kingdom. However, we are invited to understand that despite the constant presence of the forces of darkness, we must believe in God to the point of dying for him. So let us remain in fervent prayer because Herod still seeks to kill the child!

May the holy Innocents pray for us! And may the angel who appeared to Joseph be there for you, especially in times of danger and peril!
