“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. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21)
Saint Joseph, you served our Lord silently and humbly. Teach us to humble ourselves so that we may always put Jesus first as you did. Show us how to serve our families with that same humble commitment. Amen.
