Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Matthew 2:13-18

When the wise men had departed, an angel of
the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child
and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you;
for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." Then Joseph
got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and
remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had
been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called
my son."

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was
infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around
Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he
had learned from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken
through the prophet Jeremiah:

"A voice was heard in Ramah,

wailing and loud lamentation,

Rachel weeping for her children;

she refused to be consoled, because they are no more."
