Prayer is Love, I want to Love

St Joseph

Reflection: St Joseph was the Blessed Virgin Mary’s husband. He was a humble man, a carpenter. When he heard that Mary was pregnant, an Angel of God appeared to him, greeted him with the words, “Son of David” and told him that the child in Mary’s womb had been conceived by the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, St Joseph proudly accepted his responsibilities and became the dutiful guardian of the Holy Family.
