St. Joseph of Nazareth

Morning: Psalms 132; Isaiah 63:7-16; Matthew 1:18-25
Evening: Psalm 34; 2 Chronicles 6:12-17; Ephesians 3:14-21
Today is Joseph’s day.  He’s always been a favourite of mine, with his simple acceptance that he would be Jesus’ father. He did as God asked.  Sometimes you long for God to speak to you in a loud voice, too!  It would be a gift to hear clearly what God expects and be able to say “yes”. It does happen, though … when your heart is moved, and you realize that all God expects is for you to say “yes” to love. Joseph must have remembered often how he had said “yes”.  The world changed forever because he did.
