     | 13,859 views

    Lent 6 Mid-week: Herod’s treachery, brutality and paranoia showed itself in the taking of many lives. This kind of evil drives some very difficult questions. These find their answer in Jesus, whose love, suffering and sacrifice gave live to many.

    Jesus was born into a sin filled and cruel world. Spiritual warfare was focused on one child born in Bethlehem who gives victory over death to all HIs followers.

    The Flight into Egypt by the Holy Family reminds us that that our spiritual journey home is a long one, often through dangerous territory and requires reliance on God to be successful.
