May we obey God as we live our lives.
Happy Fourth Sunday of Advent 2025!
We are so near the great Solemnity of Christmas, and our Scriptures point to that. Our Gospel Portion is St. Matthew 1:18-24, and we will delve into
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife.
Matthew 1:24
Humble St. Joseph did not speak in the Holy Scriptures in words; instead, he spoke loudly through his actions.
Joseph discovered that his wife was pregnant and refused to hurt her, and then the Angel came to him in a dream, and he trusted, and the Savior was born into a family. We call this family the Holy Family! Joseph made a home for Jesus and Mary, and in doing so, created a home for us.
The Holy Family had difficulties, but they had each other and the protection of St. Joseph. St. Joseph is the quiet hero who did what he was supposed to do.
St. Joseph is a key figure in the life of the Savior, and it all came about because he surrendered to the Divine Will in everything.
As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, may we hold onto the example of St. Joseph and apply it in our lives.
Happy Love Sunday, fourth Sunday in Advent!
