Word for Tuesday March 19 Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.  She will bear a son and you shall name him Jesus…When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him.”Matthew 1:20-21, 24. Pope Benedict XVI said, “Let us allow ourselves to be “infected” by the silence of St. Joseph! We have much need of it in a world which is often too noisy which does not encourage reflection and listening to the voice of God.”


Let us pray, Lord God, You have made Joseph so good, a holy example for us to trust and follow in acts of faith. Through his intercession, may we always believe, adore, hope and love with all our hearts. St. Joseph, pure in heart, pray for us! Amen. Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
