CWN Editor's Note: “How many innocents are being slaughtered in our world!” Pope Francis tweeted on December 28, the Feast of the Holy Innocents. “In their mothers’ wombs, in odysseys undertaken in desperation and in search of hope, in the lives of all those little ones whose childhood has been devastated by war. They are the little Jesuses of today.”
Earlier in the day, the Pope tweeted, “Today, as at the time of Herod, the evil that opposes God’s light hatches its plots in the shadows of hypocrisy and concealment. How much violence and killing takes place amid deafening silence, unbeknownst to many!”
