“But even if the Holy Family fleeing into Egypt did not meet the current definition of refugees (and they do), modern-day refugee families still deserve our care and protection, because each refugee possesses infinite dignity and worth. They are our sisters and brothers.”— James Martin, SJ, twitter.com
“Gospel: 'The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt.'' Joseph did so and thus for a time the Holy Family became refugees. Today's refugees need the same kind of love and protection that the Holy Family needed.”— James Martin, SJ, twitter.com
