  1. A Story about the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    On the flight into Egypt the Blessed Virgin went into a house and asked for lodgings which she got. The Blessed Virgin got water to wash the Infant, The woman's child was bad with leprosy, and Our Lady told her to wash her child in the water in which Jesus had been bathed. She did so and her child was cured.
    Our Blessed Lady stayed for a couple of days. Christ and some other children were making things of their own. Our Lord made birds and he said, "Look at my nice birds".
    "Ah!" said Judas "they are only clay."
    Our Lord blew his breath on them and said "Fly away sparrows", and they flew.
