  1. (continued from previous page)
    Herod was returning home when he heard a voice saying,"Yesterday." "yesterday" and Herod went to Egypt after the Blessed Virgin, Jesus, and Joseph were crossing a desert they met a man that had lost his way in the desert and was dying with thirst. The Blessed Virgin gave Joseph a sip of water for the man, and Joseph said we haven't enough for ourselves. The Blessed Virgin gave the man a sip of water out of her bottle and he drank it. She asked God to forgive Joseph, and so he did. When the Blessed Virgin gave the man a sip of water she saw a spring and all sorts of fruit growing around it.
