Angel to Joseph
No fixed feast day in the calendar
The angel reassures Joseph, confirming the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Joseph Welcomes the Holy Family
Upon discovering that Mary was pregnant, Joseph, a righteous man, decided to divorce her quietly to avoid her public disgrace. However, in a dream, an angel of the Lord appeared and explained that the child in her womb was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. The angel instructed him to take her as his wife and name the child Jesus, for He would save His people from their sins. With strong faith, Joseph obeyed, becoming the foster-father and protector of the Holy Family. He is a model of faithfulness and responsibility, always ready to protect the Savior and His Mother from all dangers.
Prayer
Righteousness in Silence
- Joseph is a model of righteousness and silent obedience. He carried out God's will through faithful action rather than words.
- Faith sustains us amid the unexplainable. Despite facing difficulties he could not understand, Joseph placed his trust in God's guidance.
Learn to listen to God's voice in the silence and courageously carry out His will.
Prayer
Saint Joseph, teach me to live righteously and be faithful to God's will as you were.
