Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-November 25

OUR blessed Redeemer passed the first part of his infancy in Egypt, leading there for seven years a life of poverty and contempt. Joseph and Mary were both strangers and unknown there, having there neither relatives nor friends; and they could hardly earn their daily bread by the labour of their hands. Their cottage was poor, their food was poor.
