| 0:00.0 | Well, thank you everybody for joining us. I'm Father Chris here at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy on a little bit of an icy day here at the National Shrine in Stockbridge. |
| 0:10.0 | But we're glad you could be with us because today, actually right now, because we're coming to you live, is the Feast of the Holy Innocence. |
| 0:19.5 | And it's just kind of a feast. We know, okay, some children were |
| 0:22.6 | killed. It talks about it in the Bible. But there is so much more. And I'm going to get into |
| 0:28.5 | something I've not talked about before, but a lot of you have asked, and that is limbo. |

| 1:24.8 | Amen. |
| 1:25.3 | Heavenly Father, we ask you send the Holy Spirit down upon us. And through the |
| 1:29.7 | intercession of those souls that gave their life for Christ all martyrs, especially the Holy |
| 1:35.7 | innocence, the children, we ask that you give us the grace to always do your will and to give |
| 1:42.3 | our life and lay our life down for God as Jesus did for us. |
| 1:47.5 | And we ask all this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. |
| 1:52.2 | Name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. |
