When Jesus was born, Egypt was both pagan territory and the bread basket of the world. How fitting that God sent St. Joseph to Egypt! There, St. Joseph was responsible for raising the Living Host that would feed the world. The Joseph of the Old Testament had saved his people from starvation by dispensing grain out of Egypt. The new Joseph would offer the world the “grain” he lovingly helped grow in Egypt, the living Bread that gives eternal life!
