Thoughts from St Alphonsus for Every Day-March 1

AN angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph saying: Arise and take the Child and his Mother and fly into Egypt. Consider the ready obedience of Joseph, who raised no doubts about the time of the journey, nor about the manner of travelling, nor about the part of Egypt in which they were to remain, but im­mediately prepared to set out, although the angel had not fixed the time of his departure.
