Today is the feast of the Holy Innocents.
My eyes immediately well up with tears when I think of these “little tiny children”, brutally murdered in infancy by the evil Herod. I’m a dad. I cannot imagine the anguish their parents suffered at the deaths of these little martyrs. But these infant boys all now wear the robes of martyrs and have a higher place in the Beatific Vision than I ever will.
Try to listen to this beautiful piece and not cry.
And following up on my post yesterday about the Ray Conniff Christmas Special, longtime reader “D. O.” writes:
“I find the Ray Coniff version of Carol of the Bells quite beautiful yet quite haunting. To the concern and dismay of my wife, I have often said that song will be the soundtrack when Real Catholic Men, myself included I hope, take up swords and ride horses to retake the churches and drive out the modernists.”
To that I say, “Right on. I’ll take the tenor 1 part.”
