   One day St Joseph and the Blessed Virgin and Jesus were on their way to Jerusalem. They being tired, went in to a house. In the house a baby lived with its father and mother. The blessed Virgin started to wash the child Jesus. After the Blessed Virgin had finished washing Jesus, the woman of the house started to wash her own child, which was blind. She washed it in the same water, that the Blessed Virgin had washed Jesus in, and when she was finished washing the child, it got its sight. The child when he grew up was the good thief.
