Luke 19:38 Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord! 16When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. 13* When they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt,* and stay there until I tell you. 17 Then were fulfilled the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: 18 A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: it is Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they are no more. Enter into the joy of your lord." . For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." 3 When King Herod heard this he was perturbed, and so was the whole of Jerusalem. The kingdom of God is mercy and grace, the prisoners are freed, the sinners find place, the outcast are welcomed, God's banquet to share, and hope is awakened in place of despair. ,
