United in Prayer - Flight into Egypt and Slaughter of the Bethlehem Children - 29 December 2022

A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they are no more. (Matthew 2:18)

Didn’t You just say that He should save His people from their sins? And

now He can’t even save Himself, but we must flee far away from home and be

away a long time? (John Chrysostom, Homilies on Matthew, VIII, 4)
