What a beautiful message we are given today. Saint Joseph the adoptive father to Jesus. A man with a heart so caring just like Mary says yes to raising a son who was not his. Yet, for each of us He has a plan for us, just like He had a plan for Joseph.
These days of Advent have been a time of reflection. Looking back within the past five years has been a blessing which has been filled with changes. Especially within the past year, has been a year of beauty as well as regrets, but also a year filled with more growth in my faith journey which still continues. Fr. Paul talked about a beautiful message today that is St. Joseph reading a reflection from Bishop Robert Barron. Fr. Paul says, “St. Joseph is one of the most beloved saints, God has a plan for him, Joseph cooperated with God’s divine plan.” As Catholics we have tons of Saints to look up to. But none stand out like St. Joseph the father of Jesus. A big heart this man had to care and raise a child not his, yet just like Mary he says yes (how many times have we said yes?). He had a plan for Joseph just like He has a plan for each of us.
A question Father Paul asked all us today is how do we cooperate with God’s divine plan for us?
