Having
kept Herod in Christmas, I really want all this to go away.... it is
too tragic and devastating for words ..... Having read about Herod and
'The Slaughter of the Innocents' Matt. 2:17-18: That same cry in now
heard in Peshawar “A voice was heard in Peshawar, weeping and loud
lamentation, weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted,
because they are no more.”
It was a massacre of the innocents. Every report must admit this – because it’s true. But it is not the whole truth. independent.co.uk
I'm
still in the darkness of the 'slaughter of the innocents' ... trying to
move on. The International Carol Service was a glimmer of hope for me,
esp with Padre Rana sharing from a Pakistani perspective about Mary's
humility and wisdom that led to life and the wise men's folly that led
to death (through involving Herod in the story) . Today we had a prayer
vigil with the Pakistani community in Jubilee square and I shared a
little of standing together against violence and how this can only be
done one person at a time, heart to heart - diye se diya jelao - One
light lights another. In the meantime a page from my journal.....
