Tramata (wounds): Wounded Little Ones

"Then Herod, ...sent forth, and slew all the children, ...in all of the coasts thereof."  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted, because they are not."   Matt. 2:16-18

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.  Matt. 18:5

Iesous wept.  John 11:35

We must all pray for those who cannot articulate the tramata (literally, wounds) of abuse.  We must not merely remember them but we must pray or earnestly offer up prayers on their behalf that bespeak molested agony.

They do not possess the vocabulary to formulate bewildered suffering.  They will, however, at some point in the future bear witness with appropriate prophetic outrage to the enforced silence they were made to endure.  Through our prayers may they receive hope.

"Many are they who say of me, there is no help for (him.her) in God."  Ps. 3:33

"For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping..." Ps. 6:8b
