Prayer for the Holy Innocents

We remember today, O God, the slaughter
of the holy innocents of Bethlehem by King Herod.
Receive into the arms of Your mercy
all innocent victims; and by Your great might
frustrated the designs of evil tyrants
and establish Your rule of justice, love, and peace;
through Your son, Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever.

Amen.
