One month....

Today in the Catholic Church is the Feast of the Holy Innocents...

where we remember those baby boys killed at the direction of King Herod who was manically trying to destroy the threat to his power that the birth of a newborn king represented...

today I also remember my own beloved little boy, an orphan no more, who died on
November 28 despite all the love and care we could give...

and ALL the the orphans in Russia....

2000 years later power hungry rulers are still sacrificing children on the altar of their egos....

my own little St. Henry, please pray for them and the families trying so desperately to reach them.

  4. Sweet, darling Henry. Seemingly so weak on earth, but now so strong and powerful in Heaven. I am so sorry for your grief, but so grateful that you know and speak the truth. Praying for the Russian orphans, who need our prayers and the intercession of Henry and the Holy Innocents today.

  5. I am reading post a few days late but at Mass yesterday I asked for your son's intercession for all the orphans in Russia. I am so sorry for your loss. What a gift you were to Henry.
