Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Gospel – Matthew 1:16,18-21,24
“Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit”. Here Joseph represents each one of us. He represents us because we all have this fear. Fear and anxiety are always blocking our way to accept the will of God in our life. In those moments when we don’t know what to do, in those moments when we get stuck and frightened to proceed, St. Joseph is our model. He received his light in a dream. St. Joseph wished so much to be a man of honor so that he wanted so much to find out the will of God regarding the question before him. This ardent desire to do the good is the reason for the dream. The dream of St. Joseph is where his deep desire to do the good and the profound love of God meet. Dream is the prayer of where the longing of human heart for God meets the plan of God for us. Let’s reflect: Can we dream like St. Joseph where the longing of human heart for God meets the plan of God for us?
