As I was reading the "Saints for today" on my iPhone (how spoiled am I??!) A few things began to creep into my tired brain. The first was a question. What if Herod was a ruling power and made this decree today, as in you see this on the front of google.com/news:
14,000 infants slain by Herod in Bethlehem
WorldNewsReport - J.T. Waller - 35 minutes ago
[+] Magi being guided by a star traveling to an unknown destination were held by Herod last Tuesday for questioning. Upon leaving they agreed to return to Herod and reveal the location of an infant King (according to Jewish prophesy). The magi have not been seen since. There has been no known statement issued from Herod's court as of this report. The scene here is unlike anything this reporter has ever seen. This is purely a tragedy of madness. Law enforcement agencies continue to search for the magi.

I truely can't imagine being a parent during this time. How difficult it would be to remain faithful and trust God. + Lord have mercy.
I can't remember what the second thing was... Probably wasn't important. May God have mercy. + Through the prayers of the 14,000 innocents and the most Holy Theotokos have mercy on us and save us!
