Joseph's "Yes"

Today we turn to the book of the prophet Jeremiah which was written in 605 BC. Today we are told that a descendant of King David will reign as a true king. Jesus is announced.

Our gospel text tells us how Joseph and Mary came to be together and the dilemma Joseph had when he discovered Mary was already pregnant. We have in the text the Annunciation to Joseph in which it is said that this child is not an ordinary child but one who will save people from their sins. Being a man of faith, Joseph heeds the dream and takes Mary as his wife. Joseph’s “yes” to God is the one we are called to have in our lives.

Dear St. Joseph teach me how to say yes to God.
