We remember today, O God, the slaughter of the holy
innocents of Bethlehem by King Herod. Receive, we pray, into the arms of your
mercy all innocent victims; and by your great might frustrate the designs of
evil tyrants and establish your rule of justice, love, and peace; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
