Carols Around an Empty Manger

Today is the Feast of the Holy Innocents. On this day our collect prayer at Mass is:

O God, whom the Holy Innocents confessed
and proclaimed on this day,
not by speaking but by dying,
grant, we pray,
that the faith in you which we confess with our lips
may also speak through our manner of life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever

On December 19th, Metro Pro-life Advocates and Nebraskans United for Life co-sponsored Carols Around an Empty Manger outside an abortion site in Bellevue. It was a chance to mourn the deaths of Holy Innocents in our day as well as to proclaim the hope given in the birth of our savior.

About forty people, including four priests, gathered on that cold Saturday morning.


 The group gathered for Cookies and Hot Chocolate afterwards.
