4th Day of Christmas - December 28


December 28
4th Day of Christmas – Four Colly Birds
The 4 gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)

On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Four colly birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves, and
A partridge in a pear tree.

Song of the Day:  What Child is this:

What Child is this who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Saint of the Day:   Holy Innocents (slaughtered by King Herod)
Read the story of these Bethlehem boys honored as the first martyrs for Christ (Matthew 2:13-18) and now seen as special patrons for pro-life activities. Remember victims of abortion.
Remember the victims of the atrocity in Newtown, CT.
