“The ANGEL of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said-'Joseph-son of David-do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home'” Matthew 1:20




Have you ever been PUZZLED in your life-arriving at a PLACE in your life-that you don't know how you got there-wondering what your next move should be-what you should do now


I AM SURE this is HOW Joseph had to feel-when he found out Mary was with child-and she claimed she had been with NO MAN-what about us WHEN we are puzzled-when we are without a normal explanation for with what IS going on in our life


Can we walk with Joseph?---can we step FORWARD as Joseph did-can we -will we-LISTEN for God's VOICE as Joseph did and let God take our hand-let God TAKE AWAY our fear


Dear Lord-WE PRAY-that like Saint Joseph-we will not only accept the plight of our lives-but STEP FORWARD and EMBRACE who and what GOD CALLS US to be right now-and live our lives with CHRISTIAN JOY


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to ACCEPT the calling of our lives-DEAR SAINT JOSEPH-please help us that we may no longer be afraid




THE FATHER OF US ALL---SAINT JOSEPH


He was
The Father of all Fathers
The Father of Jesus
Our Lord


The angel of the Lord
Appeared to Joseph


“Do not be afraid
To take Mary as your wife
Because what is conceived in her
Is from the Holy Spirit”


Are you serious Lord


Could you imagine
How you would react
How I would react
How anyone would react
To this---in today’s world


Joseph was a righteous man
He did not want
To expose Mary to public disgrace
So he stood by her


Then the angel
Told Joseph
To take the child and Mary---to Egypt
And he did this too


He was
A carpenter by trade
And as his human Father---
Along with Mary
Was responsible for developing the human traits and character
Of Jesus


Our Saint Joseph
A man of righteousness
A man of honor and faith
The Patron Saint of Fathers


Our Saint Joseph
Who stood tall
In the midst
Of it all


Our Saint Joseph
The Father of the Holy Family
Our Saint Joseph
The Father of the Universal Church


Our Saint Joseph
THE FATHER OF US ALL
