The Flight into Egypt
Soon the
sword of sorrow strikes. Herod the King seeks to kill the Child. Warned
in sleep by an angel, Joseph takes Jesus and His Mother Mary, setting
out
for Egypt, where they lived in obscurity and poverty until it was safe
to return to Nazareth.
THE SECOND
PRAYER OF THE CHAPLET:
The Seven
Dolors of The Blessed Virgin Mary
V: O God, come
to my assistance;
R: O Lord,
make haste to help me
V: Glory be
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
R: As it was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
2. I grieve
for you, O Mary most sorrowful, in the anguish of your most
affectionate
heart during the flight into Egypt and your sojourn there.
Dear Mother,
by your heart so troubled, obtain for me the virtue of generosity,
especially
toward the poor, and the gift of piety.
