Two thousand years ago... “The Family of Nazareth, fleeing to Egypt, is the prototype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the wrath of a cruel king, are, in all times and places, models and protectors of migrants, foreigners and refugees of any condition who, compelled by fear, persecution or necessity, are forced to leave their homeland, their parents, their relatives, their dear friends, and live in a foreign land” (Pius XII, Exsul Familia, 1952).
