Christmas.
Christmas celebrates God coming into the world as a fully human - human being. He comes for the renewal of our lives.
Joseph had a problem and it wasn't a small one. Yet he relied on the Lord to speak to him and guide him through his very difficult moment. Joseph was a righteous man and we should all be righteous people, taking Joseph's lead.
Joseph may have feared BUT he was not afraid! JOseph knew, as we should all understand, God was with him.
"What emanates from the figure of Saint Joseph is faith . . . Joseph of Nazareth is a just man becasue he totally lives by faith. He is holy because his faith is truly heroic."
Pope John Paul II

Do you think of yourself as living a virtuous life?
.
Do others perceive you as righteous?
.
What makes the difference between the righteous and the self-righteous person?
.
Jospeh was a man who paid attention to his dreams. Do you listen to your dreams, by day or night?
What do you take in?
What do you ignore?
.
Loving God, through the intercession of the blessed virgin Mary, the mother of Christ Your Son, may our hope of salvation be realized in the birth of Christ.
