You're listening to the SSPX podcast.

This is a series of conferences given by Father Thomas Asher of the Society of St. Pies

the 10th on the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It's meant to be seen as a private retreat, a retreat that you can do while you're sheltering

in place or at your

house, perhaps with some extra time. For all of our conferences, please visit SSPX Podcast.com.

Now here's Father Asher.

The Magi, the fled into Egypt, and the return, Matthew chapter 2, verse 1 to 23.

When Jesus was therefore born in Bethlehem of Judah in the days of King Herod,

behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying,

Where is He that is born King of the Jews,

where we have seen his star in the east and are come to adore him.

And King Herod, hearing this, was troubled and all Jerusalem with him, and assembling together

all the chief priests and the scribes of the people he inquired of them where Christ should

be born.

But they said to him, in Bethlehem of Judah, for so it is written by the prophet, and thou Bethlehem, the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah, for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.

Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them, and sending them into Bethlehem

said, Go indiligently in choir after the child, and when you have found him bring me word

again that I also may come to adore him, who having heard the king went their way, and behold

the star which they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

And entering into the house they found the child with Mary, his mother, and falling down, they adored him.
