The Blue Angel (The Full of Grace) (Volume 4) Lamb Books 001 edition

'Nazareth is too far away' remarks Joseph. 'Nazareth? But you must stay here. The Messiah must grow up in Bethlehem. It is David's town. The Most High, through Caesar's will, brought Him to the town in David's land, the holy land of Judea. Why take him to Nazareth? You know in what opinion the Jews hold the Nazarenes. This Child is to be, in future years, the Saviour of His people. The capital town must not scorn its King because He comes from a despised land?.. And then, here, near me, I will be able to help you somehow, and put all I have, not so much in the way of material things, but of moral gifts, at the service of this New Born Baby..... And when He is old enough to understand, I will be very happy to be His teacher... as I will be for my own son, so that later, when He grows up, He will bless me.... We must consider that He is destined for great things..... Mary looks at Joseph and Joseph looks at Mary in a silent exchange of questions above the rosy innocent head of the sleeping Child. And they are questions full of sadness as Mary thinks of Her little house and Joseph, of his work. And they both wonder how they will start afresh here?
