  1. St. Joseph and Our Lady and the infant Jesus had to fly into Egypt. On the journey Our Lady knocked at a cottage door to ask if she could go in and attend to the Little Babe. The woman of the cottage invited her in and she got water put it in a basin and gave it to Our Lady to give the Babe a bath. The woman too happened to have a little baby boy who was about the same age as the infant Jesus. When Our Lady had bathed her little Babe the woman of the cottage bathed her own little baby in the same water. It is said that it was he, when he grew up, was the good thief to whom Our Saviour on Calvary said, "This day thou shall be with Me in Paradise."
