“Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him.” Matthew 1:20-21, 24. St. Pope John Paul II said, “St. Joseph teaches us that true greatness is found in humble obedience to God.” Loving Father, the Church celebrates St. Joseph in a special way because he teaches us to place You at the center of our lives and to respond to every situation with trustful obedience to Your will. Grant that we may be Your children who love and trust You in all things, and who faithfully follow Your Son in every step of our lives. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
