  1. Deeds that Brought Good Luck

    Share Share Post
    As Jesus and Blessed Virgin and St Joseph were going into Egypt one day. They were met by a band of robbers. Mary and Jesus were riding on an ass. The robbers wanted to take the ass from the Blessed Virgin. All the robbers except one agreed to take the ass and he said that it would'nt be fair to take the ass and let her walk. They went off and the robber that said not to take the ass was the robber that was hanged on the cross.
