Tuesday of Christmas Week

Tuesday December 28, 2021 Jesse Tree- Innocents  1 John 1:5-2:2

Today we remember the Holy Innocents and hang their ornament on the Jesse Tree. John’s letter admonishes us that if we “talk the talk, we must walk the walk.” If we claim to care for the unborn (the innocents), then we must care for them once they are born. We must ensure pre-natal care, so all children are born healthy. We must ensure nutrition for the child and the family into which it is born. We must ensure safe and stable housing. We must ensure educational opportunities, and employment. Just ensuring that a child is born is only a tiny fraction of what it means to really care.
