Daily Reflection: Saturday, December 18
Saturday, December 18
“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.” Here we are one week before Christmas and the beginning of Matthew’s Gospel is so familiar. This Gospel includes some important information about Joseph who is his betrothed to Mary, who is with child. He decides to divorce her quietly until… his fears are calmed and he take Mary into his home. What a brave and just man Joseph is. He now knows what is the right thing to do and does it. “Do not be afraid.” Do not let fear control your life. This is more easily said than done.
