Holy Spirit of God, our source of true wisdom and guidance, grant us wisdom to know when to escape the trouble we find, that we would not needlessly place ourselves in danger or temptation or put the Lord to the test but heed the wisdom of finding places of safety when the time is right, through Jesus our brother, who reigns in you with the Father in glory, world without end. Amen.
‘Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt.’ – Matthew 2:13-14
