The Second Sorrow of Our Lady - The Flight into Egypt.

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 2: 13-15~ DRV   13 And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. 14 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod: 15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.          

Meditation:  Dear Mary, what a scary journey for you and Joseph as you fled the evil that threatened the life of your Son, Jesus.  Now evil threatens to deny my loved one a life of the fullness of faith found only in the Eucharist.  Help me flee to the comfort of the Holy Spirit and there gain the strength to fight the battle that lies ahead.  May the time come quickly when I can say with joy, "The one for whom I have prayed has come home to Holy Mother Church."  In Jesus Name, I pray.  Amen.

Prayer:  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.  Amen.
